Hi Admin,
PB: I have given your summary a thought.
Admin: This is more a discussion of NRM than a definition, since it also includes evidence, implications and conclusions. How about this:
'GUToB (Grand Unifying Theory of Biology)- descent with modification within species boundaries through natural selection'
PB: GUToB - descent with modification within bounderies determined by the MPG through natural selection.
Admin: MPG (MultiPurpose Genome) - The genetic foundation of GUToB, the same MPG can be shared across many species, with minor variations to the MPG producing the variety of species. An MPG for a species cannot experience change sufficient to produce a new species. The cause of change in MPGs is random mutation, and morphogenetic fields and creaton waves that produce non-random mutations (NRMs).
PB: MPG (MultiPurpose Genome) - The genetic foundation of GUToB. The same genetics (genes, (regulatory) DNA elements to induce variation) are shared across many species, with minor variations to the MPG producing variation within the species (although species is not the appropriate term, since I propose to replace 'species' and probably 'genus' by 'MPG'). An MPG cannot induce change sufficient to produce another MPG. The variation observed within MPGs is causes by non-random mutation specified by mechanisms in the MPG itself.
NRM (Non-Random Mutation) - There are two types. The first is often referred to as hot-spots, regions of the genome where mutational change is more common than usual, possibly related to DNA structure. The second is due to genetic mechanisms specified by the MPG which serve as a causative force behind mutation.
About morphogenetic field and creaton waves:
I used the idea of Creaton Waves in a Morphogenic Fields (I've changed it to 'morphogenic' since 'morphogenetic' reminds of Shelldrakes' Fields) to give a scientific explanation for creation.
If a bystander was in the position to watch the process of creation it would be something like watching a film about disintegration backwards. It shows negative entropy.
Best wishes,
Peter
