				ABSTRACT

  Positing complex adaptive systems made of agents with relations
  between them that can be composed, it follows that they can be
  described by gauge theories similar to  elementary
  particle theory and  general relativity. By definition, a universal
  dynamics is able to determine the time development of any such system
  without need for further specification. The possibilities are limited,
  but one of them - reproduction fork dynamics - describes DNA
  replication and is the basis of biological life on earth. It is a
  universal copy machine and a renormalization group fixed point.
  A universal equation of motion in continuous time is also presented.
