Principle of Least Action and Theory of Cyclic Evolution

TL;DR

This paper proposes that natural processes driven by the Principle of Least Action lead systems to cyclically evolve towards more organized states, suggesting evolution as a recurring cycle influenced by fundamental physical laws.

Contribution

It introduces a cyclic model of evolution based on the Principle of Least Action, linking physical laws to the development of system organization over time.

Findings

Systems tend to evolve towards states of less action and greater organization.

Evolution is characterized as a cyclic process driven by physical principles.

The principle explains the recurring nature of natural system development.

Abstract

A natural process is defined as an act, by which a system organizes itself with time. Any natural process drives a system to a state of greater organization. Organization is a progressive change, while evolution is expressed in the effects of accumulating marks acquired from contingent encounters. Co-existence of the system in states of maximum organization as well as maximum action forms the core idea of the paper. Major influences have been drawn from the Principle of Least Action. This allows us to see how this most basic law of physics determines the development of the system towards states with less action i.e. organized states. Based on this, it has been proposed, that the development of a system towards states of greater organization is cyclic in nature and thus evolution is a cyclic process.
