Abstract
While accepting that contingency is key to biological evolution, we wonder how much need there is for it. It is extremely difficult to talk about trends in evolution, but the fact remains that they are found here and there when evolutionary experiments are repeated. But we should ask, for example, whether there is an unavoidable tendency of life towards progressive complexity . This chapter deals with certain theoretical considerations from Logic and Computing on the conditions necessary to formulate a predictive evolutionary theory .
