6 Cosmological and Biological Reproducibility: Limits on the Maximum Entropy Production Principle, the reproducibility of biological evolution and therefore on our ability to distinguish the quirky from the generic features of life. Parallel long term experiments in bacterial evolution can be used to test for biological reproducibility.

On all scales, from galaxies and stars to planets and life, the rise of complexity over the course of natural history can be uniformly quantified by analyzing the normalized flow of energy through open, non-equilibrium, thermodynamic systems.
