If not, I strongly suggest you do. It's not in the same line of thought but at the same time it is. It's a simpler Theorem.

Triptico, when I read Camus's work what struck me was how he had bracketed the general notion of existence, in favor of the inner existence of an individual focused on his own feelings or "angst". J.P. Sartre was also a master at bracketing general exisence, and his works were first class productions of this type of existential philosophy.
Later on after Camus's untimely death in an automobile accident, Sarte was awarded a Nobel for this philosophical literature. Of course, he rejected it for political reasons stating that leftist or communist philosophers were being banned from awards of the Nobel prize because of their political status. And even further, Sartre went on to be a communist himself and a supporter of the most extreme type too which was Marxist, Leninist, Mao tse Tung Thought.
BTW Raul I will devote more time to your General Theorem when I get the chance, but in the meantime if you wait, here is also a book that might interest you. It is by Henri Bergson and it is entitled "Creative Evolution". It is a good philosophical read for anyone who supports the Darwinian theory of evolution for beginners.
Raul said;
"It is my belief that these concepts of system evolution and system state will lead ultimately to an explanation of every aspect of human behavior. When, within this conceptual framework, we have examined in detail the manner in which we respond to a given set of conditions, I believe that we will be able to account for our apparent changeability. We will find that we are, in essence, no different than the artifacts that we build. They are crude by comparison because their control mechanisms are simple and one-dimensional in relation to our own."
