I'm looking for a generalized evolutionary theory that deals with the growth of organisms via non-random, intelligent mutations.
For example, companies only evolve in selective ways, where each "mutation" has a desired outcome. We might imagine superintelligence to mutate itself as well--not randomly, but intelligently.
A theory of Intelligent Evolution would help one predict conditions under which many random mutations (Spraying) are favored over select intelligent mutations (Shooting).
