Genetic Knowledge

Solutions to the biological problems of replication.

Genetic knowledge is stored in DNA, RNA, and proteins. It grows through random variation and natural selection across generations — not within lifetimes. This distinguishes it sharply from Explanatory Knowledge, which is created by universal explainers through Creativity.

Connections

• •Distinct from Explanatory Knowledge — biological vs. mental solutions
• •Grows through variation and selection, not Conjecture and Criticism
• •Cannot adapt within a single lifetime — unlike explanatory knowledge
• •Produced by evolution, a form of Knowledge creation without a knowing creator
• •Genetic Determinism falsely equates genetic knowledge with mental content
• •The Jump to Universality in biology: DNA replication enabled open-ended evolution
• •Part of the broader category of Knowledge — information that solves problems
