Efthimios,
Nice essay, interesting, original, very well written and argued. I think I followed most and agreed some, but nearing the scoring deadline I'm now down to speed reading, so may have missed some meaning.
I question; "goal oriented systems make sense only if there is causality
if physical reality at the level of macrocosm is autonomous, then there are no random mutations because everything is deterministic"
because I derive a random mutation mechanism in my essay which is entirely causal, though not entirely deterministic. It also produces a 'quasi' classical QM compliant with Bell via dynamic geometry. I hope you may get the chance to read and challenge or analyse it in terms of your thesis (but don't try to speed read it as it's quite dense!).
Must dash, I'm late for a free lunch (It'll probably be all gone then!) I'm not sure what the 4.2 is about, but it seems few read it. Score boost coming in 10 secs so hold on tight.
Very best
Peter
