This is a book dedicated in pursuing truth on a fundamental level.
Science philosophy is the ultimate foundation of the rational ideology which our world view build on and it is this world view which will direct our values, principles and strategies which will lead us to the far future or doom us sooner than we expected. Science philosophy is linked to our society, our behaviour. If we want to plan a future we cannot avoid talking about it and we have to get it right.
Reading is not always easy. When you read, you need to check the concept, logic and principle is correct. Swallow them up without analysis and criticism, will cause chaos in your knowledge system. Without correct them in time, they will derive more wrong concept, logic and principle and in the meantime will form wrong path dependence that will make them even harder to correct and will cost more when c...

Principles and theories are the tools for thinking. Direct and indirect experiences are the materials to be used in thinking activities. The purpose of this book is to provide a tool set for thinking and to provide a weapon in the struggle for life. Liberate your mind is the prerequisite step. Then the deciding factor will be the methodology of thinking. For effective thinking, correct concepts, logics and principles have to be deployed.
Everyone has a limited life span but the struggle for human far future cannot stop. Everyone has the responsibility to carry the struggle on, no matter what.
This book is the accumulated writings for the author's thoughts. It is a thinking information evolution process. You can find some contents have contradictions. I suggest you read from the back --- that is the latest thought for me.

Excerpt:
Every bit and piece of achievements of evolution of life is to be recorded and passed down by genes. Genes are successively changing, some changes are not in favour of the development and survival of the organism and they will be eliminated. Some changes are in favour of the development and survival of the organism, so they are kept and further developed by the organism. This is just part of the story, because evolution is not as simple as an error and try game. The fundamental reason for evolution is based on the intrinsic nature of matter existence itself --- ordering. Natural selection should be understand and explained in its general meaning --- matter evolution.
It is the ordered energy that is decaying and turning its order into the order of the structure and movement of mass. Energy is the existence state of mass. Usable energy is the free movement of mass. So it is the free movement of the mass is turning into the ordered structure and movement of mass --- one form of mass movement turned into another form of mass movement. It is one form of order turns into another form of order.
In normal conditions, the free movement turns into the position potential and in the extreme conditions, position potential turns into free movement of mass.
Position potential is the microscopic and macroscopic structural position order of mass; free movement is the movement order of mass. It is just one form of order turning into another form of order of the existence state mass.
Ordering is in the nature of existence and movement of mass.
Information evolution is the matter ordering process in the normal conditions where free movement turning into structural order.
That is why this process is changing, it is evolving, and will be entirely changed in the future. It is not the principle of natural selection itself (though the old theory needs to be modified and complemented) but the way to fulfil it is to be changed.
Gene is the most basic living matter. Genes are the carriers of biological information, with the function of information recording, storage, output and duplication. The corresponding biological information has to be stored and expressed by the corresponding biological structure (genetic structure).
Life is a form of existence of matter (or, say, a mode of motion of matter). The evolution of life is the advanced stage of the process of evolution of matter.
