 +The Formal Darwinism project is a collaboration between two Fellows of St John’s - biologist Alan Grafen and mahematician Charles Batty - and two mathematical post-doctoral research  
 +associates Richard Gratwick and Paul Crewe.  
 + 
 +Grand theories in physics are usually expressed in mathematics. Newton'​s mechanics and Einstein'​s theory of special relativity are essentially equations. Words are needed only to interpret the terms. Darwin'​s theory of evolution by natural selection has obstinately remained in words since 1859. Of course, there are many mathematical models that show natural selection at work, but they are all examples. None claims to capture Darwin'​s central argument in its entirety. In its grandest conception, this project aims to do just that, and even to include all the valid additions to the theory, namely sexual selection, the merging of Darwinism and Mendelism, inclusive fitness and evolutionary game theory.  
 + 
 +The core argument is that the mechanical processes of inheritance and reproduction,​ today represented by equations of motion of gene frequency change, can give rise through natural sel 
 +ection to the appearance of design, today represented by the mathematics of optimisation. The formal approach is therefore to construct links between equations of motion and optimisation programs. The project has been substantially begun, and most of the ingredients identified. But the main work remains to be done of constructing a single over-arching model of the optimising tendency of natural selection, and that is the work proposed in this project.  
 + 
 +This project is in many ways a mathematical,​ formal version of the argument of The Selfish Gene. There, Dawkins articulates in words a unifying structure for all the central adaptive t 
 +heories used by evolutionary biologists, and grounds that unifying structure in a fully logical framework. A mathematical version will provide more precision, and answer a class of objections.  
 + 
 +The first year has produced two major pieces of work. One revisits, corrects, provides a simultaneous cross-generalisation of, and translates into mathematical language, two earlier  
 +papers – this is the new mathematical foundation of the formal Darwinism project. The second creates a significant extension, by establishing a formal framework, and proving powerful new results, about natural selection in the presence of environmental and demographic stochasticity;​ it solidly underpins ideas of fitness maximisation in that much more realistic biological case, and shows how to define ‘fitness’ there.
