Recently, Doolittle and Inkpen formulated a thought provoking theory, asserting that evolution by natural selection was responsible for the sideways evolution of two radically different kinds of selective units (also called Domains). The former entities, termed singers, correspond to the usual objects studied by evolutionary biologists (gene, genomes, individuals, species, etc.), whereas the later, termed songs, correspond to re‐produced biological and ecosystemic functions, processes, information, and memes. Singers perform songs through selected patterns of interactions, meaning that a wealth of critical phenomena might receive novel evolutionary explanations. However, this theory did not provide an empirical approach to study evolution in such a broadened context. Here, we show that analyzing songs and singers, using patterns of interaction networks as a common ontology for both, offers a novel, actionable, inclusive and mathematical way to analyze not only the re‐production but also the evolution and fitness of biological and ecosystemic interconnected processes.

对相互关联过程的演变建模：是歌曲和歌手

最近，Doolittle 和 Inkpen 提出了一个发人深省的理论，断言自然选择的进化是两种截然不同的选择单元（也称为域）的横向进化的原因。前者称为歌手，对应于进化生物学家研究的通常对象（基因、基因组、个体、物种等），而后者称为歌曲，对应于再生产的生物和生态系统功能、过程、信息、和模因。歌手通过选定的互动模式表演歌曲，这意味着大量关键现象可能会得到新颖的进化解释。然而，该理论并没有提供在如此广泛的背景下研究进化的经验方法。在这里，我们展示了分析歌曲和歌手，
