All life forms interact with, and experience, their environment. According to Intended Evolution, during this process organisms can save internal representations of useful information patterns for future use in decision making.  Therefore all of life exhibits intelligence, and over time, any life form can learn to optimize their possible (limited of course) choices it makes and actions it takes, including intentionally making changes to the information carried in their own DNA, their behavior, structure, and physiology.  This continuous process of change is happening not just at the level of an organism as a whole, but internally at other units of life as well: systems, organs, functional units, and cells.  In other words not only is every cell is intelligent, but each subsequent groupings or functional units share intelligence and act as a unit as well. Furthermore there are internal communication patterns between hierarchies of internal life based on how each system, including the current organism as a whole, has evolved.  In this way challenges and information from the exterior environment not only selects organisms (natural selection) during evolution, but is subjectively perceived by relevant units and can be saved to make changes at various levels over time, including being passed down to future generations.

​

We believe learning about changes in the environment and passing them down is simply part of the normal course of all of life, and making intelligent & intentional changes at local internal levels is a continuous process. In this way DNA represents a relevant recorded history about it's interactions with its environment for the present, and future generations. DNA was/is intelligently changed and organized over time as a form of operating menu for intentional interaction by the organism or internal unit with its perceived environment. When experience dictates that conditions will persist for long enough, an organism or internal unit may purposely adjust the use of its genome and other structures as well as signaling needed changes to be passed on as action potentials for future DNA sequence adjustment.  Therefore, we could say that the entire process is based on an organisms projections (estimations) about its future needs, abilities, available resources, etc.

Many biologists have increasingly marveled at the intelligent activities of all life forms from single cells, to plants to the animal kingdom (see "links of interest).  We believe life can be looked at as essentially information or pattern recognizers, processors, and recorders in order to benefit itself going forward.  Furthermore, while information may be "stumbled on randomly" so to speak, the very definition of "information" implies pattern, or non-randomness.  Life therefore integrates information to build and upgrade itself over time so as to "mirror its environment" in order to fit in as advantageouly as possible. This includes holding potential future changes, or "action potentials" which may be acted on later on, including future generations.  As it pertains to DNA, therefore, we believe although "random" changes may occur, DNA is essentially a tool, not only used, but also updated by life for projected future needs, including over evolutionary time scales. This should really not be too suprising considering DNA is constantly being repaired, conserved, and used in highly organized physiological processes by the cell/organism an intelligent manner.  Very recently it has been proven that cells can make changes to their own DNA on a regular basis (see CRISPR) and we believe science is just beginning to scratch the surface in this regard.  Continue below for some book excerpts.      See also: SUPPORTING LINKS OF INTEREST!
