A technomorphic conceptualisation of biological ‘constructions’ and their evolution

Here, we build on earlier work concerning notions of engineering design and investigate their conceptual connection to evolutionary biology. The basis for this is an schema covering the central concepts function, working principle construction. Its relevance biology explored by connecting these so-called space that used in optimisation. This tool makes it possible distinguish various optima performance visualise robustness with respect disturbances or changes parameters. morphological ‘constructions’ regard shape shown means examples from characteristics ‘landscapes’ then related concept evolvability, whereby explore analogies between systems morphology. A general property phenotypes molecular organismal level seems be ‘construction’ facilitates both exploration while maintaining relevant functions at a high level.
