Mesut Tez, M.D., is a surgeon and researcher in the Department of Surgery at Ankara City Hospital, University of Health Sciences, Turkey. His research challenges neo-Darwinian evolution by focusing on cancer evolution, complex systems, and information theory. Tez proposes that living systems, including tumors, evolve through telos-driven processes, where information, alongside matter and energy, drives adaptation. His concept of "homeoinformation" highlights how continuous information processing supports life’s stability and adaptability, extending beyond homeostasis. In cancer evolution, Tez views tumors as complex systems that adapt through chaotic, feedback-driven dynamics, rather than purely random mutations. His work on chaotic systems shows how information processing enables efficient exploration of state spaces, applicable to oncogenesis and evolutionary biology. His publications explore cancer as a chaotic search for adaptation, propose chaotic selection dynamics as a non-random driver of evolution, and address paradoxes like protein folding through information-based frameworks. Tez’s interdisciplinary approach bridges clinical expertise with complexity science, aligning with the Third Way of Evolution’s mission to rethink evolution beyond random mutation and natural selection.
