Correct.  Evolution is a feedback mediated form of self-adaptation. 
The weight of the environment can often outrank the urge 
for self-improvement.   In some business, that's 
called legacy systems.  In others, types.   Types have 
lifecycles.

But take care with that reality word.  It is in the sense 
of multiple viewpoints in a complex adaptive system, almost 
meaningless at scale because it is non-deterministic, and 
internally, private and unprovable.

Cute, but utter nonsense.  My ability to impose upon experience is limited
by experience imposing upon me.  

We may not know what Reality is, but if  chose to pretend it's of our own
making, we soon get squished. 

First law of Reality:
	Reality  squishes both the ignorant and pretentious with equal
aplomb.
