Versatility, Evolution, Method

Versatility combines functional Unity and Multiplicity.  So, two main ways that Versatility can increase are by unification of a manifold of functions, and by addition to a given unified manifold of functions.  But, to increase in Versatility is to Evolve.  Thus, Smith's introduction of Division of Labor constitutes an Evolutionary moment, whereas the Marxist collectivization of Property is Evolutionary only insofar as it is a dimension of a collectivization of Labor, e. g. a cooperative business.  Now, a Method unifies a multiplicity of operations.  Hence, the adoption of a Philosophical Method, most prominently by Descartes and Bacon, and implicitly by most others, expresses an Evolutionary development.  Thus, Evolutionism is more than just a variety of Method--it is its principle.
