Oleg A. Mayboroda has proposed a new framework for understanding evolution, termed the "ontology of evolutionary rhythm," which he presented in a blog post. This framework moves beyond traditional measures of intelligence or education, focusing instead on an entity's "hysteresis level" – its capacity to cause irreversible change and reshape systems. Mayboroda outlines three levels: Level 1 entities merely repeat, Level 2 adapt without systemic disruption, and Level 3 leave indelible marks, generate new meanings, and alter reality. He contrasts this with Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, suggesting his own work offers an "engineering of consciousness" that complements Darwin's biological insights. AI

This article proposes a new model for evolution, conceptualizing it as a hysteresis loop rather than a linear process. It suggests that evolution occurs through irreversible jumps, where systems accumulate potential, experience critical stress leading to a shift, and then settle into a new state without returning to the previous one. The author connects this concept to artificial intelligence, proposing that symbiosis between humans and AI, through mechanisms like 'kernel embedding,' can engineer this evolutionary loop into AI systems.
