[So why call failures in a spontaneous order “evil”?

What is evil about a system that comes into being on the basis of trying out combinations based on simple rules?

Each combination – configuration – is a formal trial within the order.  The longevity of any particular combination rests on instrumental causes and formal elements as well as the challenges that arise from the creature’s situation.

The failure of any type of configuration registers as a limitation, a failure of a formal element. Each success registers as a success of a formal element.

Every spontaneous order is anti-entropic.  It requires the expenditure of more energy than is retained by the system.  Every spontaneous order adapts to its circumstances more readily that any designed order.  Every spontaneous order accepts failure as part of itself….

…which is precisely what we do not do.  We do not accept “failure”.  We designate it as “evil”.  Why?]
