DESCRIPTION:A concept we refer to as the biological constraint is shown to
  be able to explain the effectiveness of mathematical descriptions of the 
 universe\, as well as accounting for the origin of life and our ability to
  think logically.  The biological constraint\, which can be studied system
 atically through the use of appropriate models\, refers to selection in th
 e biological realm in favour of mechanisms that have wide applicability\, 
 a subset of which have mathematical character that can evolve to ever subt
 ler forms.  The precise conformance of physical phenomena to precise mathe
 matical laws is related to the enforcement of symmetry.\n
