    • An Evolutionary Lifecycle Model is a conceptual framework that outlines the systematic progression inherent in evolving systems' development and eventual decline. This model includes several stages: the emergence or origination stage, where a new system first appears; the expansion or proliferation stage, characterized by rapid growth and spreading; the explosion or diversification stage, where there is a significant increase in diversity or adoption; the maturation or consolidation stage, indicating a period of stabilization and refinement; the stabilization or equilibrium stage, reflecting a balanced state with incremental changes; and finally, the extinction or obsolescence stage, marking the decline and disappearance of the system. The model offers valuable insights into growth, adaptation, and decline dynamics. It has been applied in various contexts, such as in the evolution of artificial intelligence, the development of electric vehicles, the growth of social media platforms, and the technological advancements in smartphones. The Evolutionary Lifecycle Model contrasts with static or linear development models, failing to capture evolutionary processes' dynamic and cyclical nature. This model relates to broader concepts such as evolutionary theory, technological innovation, adaptive radiation, and market evolution, providing a comprehensive understanding of the evolution and lifecycle of complex systems.
