The Role of Information in the Main Evolutionary Survival Strategies: “Nominal Immortality” and “Rapid Response”

Abstract

Aim. To identify the key mechanisms and evolutionary strategies for the transmission of hereditary information, as well as to determine how the interaction between different levels of the structural organization of “living” systems affects the processes of adaptation. The object of the study is “living” systems that apply evolutionary strategies of “nominal immortality” and “rapid response”.

Methodology. The methodology is based on dialectical methods, systemic and evolutionary approaches. In addition, general scientific methods such as analysis and synthesis are used.

Results. Based on the set goals, this paper examines the main characteristics of “nominal immortality” and “rapid response” as evolutionary strategies for adaptation and survival, as well as the role of information in their implementation at different levels of the structural organization of living systems.

Research implications. The theoretical significance lies in the preparation of the basis for the creation of an ontology of living systems.
