Fight/battle is an evolutionary process in which an exchange of information
takes place via conflict/contest with other active systems. Principles fight
each other.
The optimization criterion for the overall system is comprised of the working
principles of all the systems participating in the contest, depending upon their
respective strength. The strongest principle takes possession of the overall
system. This results in the evolution of the systems, as well as a new system or
new system level.
The flow of information and disinformation comes about via selection and orientation. Physical conflict/contest plays a significant role. Energy resources, the quality of the environmental theory, and the aggressiveness of the principle, determine the strength of the system and thus eventually the assertiveness of the principle.
