Quote:However how is it heading towards the other function by that method?It's not "heading towards" anything. The organism is simply surviving, persisting. It's not "improving upon" anything, the organism is simply surviving, persisting. There is no identifiable goal or destination to head towards. There is no criteria or measurement (or measuring authority) to judge or affect "improvement".
