From the ‘punctuated equilibrium' of Eldrege and Gould, through Lewontin's ‘triple helix' and the various visions and revisions of the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis (EES) of Laland and others, both data and theory have demanded an opening-up of the 1950's Evolutionary Synthesis that so firmly wedded evolutionary theory to the mathematics of gene frequency analysis. It can, however, be argued that a single deep and comprehensive mathematical theory may simply not be possible for the almost infinite varieties of evolutionary process active at and across the full range of scales of biological, social, institutional, and cultural phenomena. Indeed, the case history of 'meme theory' should have raised a red flag that narrow gene-centered models of evolutionary process may indeed have serious limitations. What is attempted here is less grand, but still broader than a gene-centered analysis. Following the instruction of Maturana and Varela that all living systems are cognitive, in a certain sense, and that living as a process is a process of cognition, the asymptotic limit theorems of information and control theories that bound all cognition provide a basis for constructing an only modestly deep but wider-ranging series of probability models that might be converted into useful statistical tools for the analysis of observational and experimental data related to evolutionary process. The line of argument in this series of interrelated essays proves to be surprisingly direct.

This contributed volume overviews recently presented approaches for carrying out QSPR/QSAR analysis by using a simplifying molecular input-line entry system (SMILES) to represent the molecular structure. In contrast to traditional SMILES, quasi-SMILES is a sequence of special symbols-codes that reflect molecular features and codes of experimental conditions. SMILES and quasi-SMILES serve as a basis to develop QSPR/QSAR as well Nano-QSPR/QSAR via the Monte Carlo calculation that provides the so-called optimal descriptors for QSPR/QSAR models. The book presents a reliable technology for developing Nano-QSPR/QSAR while it also includes the description of the algorithms of the Monte Carlo optimization. It discusses the theory and practice of the technique of variational authodecoders (VAEs) based on SMILES and analyses in detail the index of ideality of correlation (IIC) and the correlation intensity index (CII) which are new criteria for the predictive potential of the model. The mathematical apparatus used is simple so that students of relevant specializations can easily follow. This volume is a valuable contribution to the field and will be of great interest to developers of models of physicochemical properties and biological activity, chemical technologists, and toxicologists involved in the area of drug design.
