This rather long and meandering paper, though originally intended merely
as an argument for the existence of the Evolution of all Matter (as
well as Living Things), rather rapidly had to address a wholly new,
Holistic standpoint for scientific investigation and explanation, and
thus was inevitably diverted into delivering at least some important
contributions to that area. For the usual standpoint in Science is NOT
holistic, but pluralistic, and though perfectly suitable in areas in
equilibrium, is entirely unsuitable for dealing with systems in
qualitative change. Now, as it very quickly became a rather extended
piece, it could not be allowed to deal fully with all aspects so
generated by this alternative stance. So, they have been somewhat
truncated, with the suggestion, for those requiring a more comprehensive
treatment, to address the much fuller accounts published in the 50
issues of SHAPE Journal on the Internet by this author.
