Knowing how reality works does not guarantee survival. Once an entity can sense, choose, and act, it must persist amid uncertainty, adapt to change, and navigate the interests of others.

Volume II of Darwin 2.0: On the Destiny of Species follows the Probe from the emergence of life to Elexium, the Experiment Selection Matrix, and Aimata, the Agency Interest Matrix. Through natural and artificial selection, cooperation, competition, deception, and trust, Cang V. Quach and Kendall Rountree examine the strategies by which living and artificial agents continue themselves.

Catosys and Triaxiom extend this inquiry into the discovery, understanding, and taming of unknown forces. A species may know its world and still fail to endure. The next challenge is learning how to act within it.
