This school of thought, which considers the relation between knowledge and reality (epistemology) within an evolutionary perspective, posits that
an organism is never able to recognize, depict, or mirror reality, and that it can only
construct a "model that fits" (Glaserfeld, 1984). This model (paradigm/model/map) evolves in the organism's interactions
with its environment and obeys evolutionary principles of selection.*
