    "abstract": "It is increasingly evident that there is more to biological evolution than\nnatural selection; moreover, the concept of evolution is not limited to\nbiology. We propose an integrative framework for characterizing how entities\nevolve, in which evolution is viewed as a process of context-driven\nactualization of potential (CAP). Processes of change differ according to the\ndegree of nondeterminism, and the degree to which they are sensitive to,\ninternalize, and depend upon a particular context. The approach enables us to\nembed phenomena across disciplines into a broad conceptual framework. We give\nexamples of insights into physics, biology, culture and cognition that derive\nfrom this unifying framework.",
