Evolver

It seems to proclaim that I am one who purposefully evolves, over and above one who tries to; it seems almost self-gratifying, though I know that's not a bad thing to be (an "evolver"; not self-gratifying). ❋ Evolver (2003)

The Axial Age gives us the most telling evidence: to use our formalism, we can say that the sudden macro punctuation we see in the brief interval of the Axial period is the macroevolutionary component of the 'evolver', while the micro aspect is (not natural selection!!) the historical realization of the macro component, the actual history generated. ❋ Nemo (2010)

'evolver' or macro in this case is the process of 'sudden speciation', whatever that was, the punctuator, while the micro process is the equilibrium adjustment period in between, the stable period after speciation has occurred (quite rapidly, says Gould, in many cases). ❋ Nemo (2010)

But for some reason, evolver seems to bring with it a weight I wasn't quite prepared to carry. ❋ Evolver (2003)

Ooooh, I'm an evolver, I couldn't paedomorphosize if I tried! ❋ Evolver (2003)

Vishnu and Siva as a triad of equal and more or less interchangeable deities in which Brahmá held the office of creator, or rather evolver, Vishnu of preserver, and Siva of dissolver. ❋ 1840-1916 (1913)

He thought this very suitable for the evolver of Twist's Non-Trickler, and it was only when they were being rushed along at what the twins, used to the behaviour of London taxis and not altogether unacquainted with the prudent and police-supervised deliberation of the taxis of ❋ Elizabeth Von Arnim (1903)

It is not used intransitively; if there is a paragoge, there must be ho paragon, and similarly if there is evolution or development, there must be an evolver or developer. ❋ Unknown (1895)

Brahman is, it is true, represented there as the object to be obtained by the released soul; but as the released soul cannot be the evolver of names and forms, &c., we must conclude that it is Brahman ❋ George Thibaut (1881)

'Ether, indeed, is the evolver of names and forms' (Ch.Up. VIII, 14, 1, and so on). ❋ George Thibaut (1881)

This the next clause of the text confirms, 'That which is within those forms and names'; the purport of which is: because that ether is within names and forms, not being touched by them but being something apart, therefore it is the evolver of them; this also following from his being free from evil and endowed with the power of realising his purposes. ❋ George Thibaut (1881)

The ether in our passage is the highest Brahman, because the clause 'Ether is the evolver of forms and names' designates something other than the individual soul. ❋ George Thibaut (1881)

And 'the evolver of names and forms' is again that same soul characterised with a view to its previous condition; for the individual soul in its non-released state supported the shapes of gods, and so on, and their names. ❋ George Thibaut (1881)

The Lord, on the other hand, who is the ruling principle in the construction of the Universe is expressly declared by scripture to be the evolver of names and forms; cp. ❋ George Thibaut (1881)

As an evolver I couldn't earn my board, probably, and I wouldn't know a protoplasm from a side of sole leather; but I know when I get to the end of my picket rope, and I know just as sure where the knowable quits and the unknowable begins as anybody. ❋ Bill Nye (1873)

We hold in this case to our old idea, and say -- If there be evolution, there must be an evolver. ❋ Charles Kingsley (1847)

We can see the evolver at close range in the eonic effect, but as we realize from this example the source is beyond observation. ❋ Nemo (2010)

A bug has been fixed that caused an undo of an evolver settings edit made during evolution to sometimes not work. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Meanwhile, isn't it interesting to hear Hoeffel - a clear gay marriage flip-flopper evolver - taking someone else to task about changing their ways. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Yet, there's still enough known to make the claim that the Y is the speediest evolver, Hughes and Page said. ❋ Unknown (2010)
