all evolving systems … are composed of diverse components that can combine into configurational states that are then selected for or against based on function

I've been saying this for years! Glad somebody was able to ... make a paper out of it.

This seems like a specific application of the observed entropic principles that cosmologists have been espousing for a while. It leaves off the fun part to make itself a law though - all evidence indicates that we are headed towards a state of universe-wide low entropy/low complexity where everything is just radiation. Everything is a Bell Curve.

Edit: ‘evidence’ was probably too strong of a word and should have been something like ‘generally/widely accepted models’ instead.
