Orthogenesis is a term used in biology, particularly in the field of evolutionary theory. It refers to a hypothetical process of spontaneous evolution or change in a biological organism or population, in which the organism or population gradually becomes more complex, specialized, or advanced over time as a result of internal factors, such as genetic mutations or gene flows, rather than external factors, such as environmental pressures or natural selection.<br><br>In other words, orthogenesis suggests that evolution can occur independently of external pressures or selection forces, driven solely by internal genetic mechanisms. This idea was once popular in the early 20th century, but has largely fallen out of favor in recent decades as the importance of natural selection and other external factors in shaping evolutionary outcomes has become better understood.
Orthogonal refers to a relationship between two lines, surfaces, or vectors that are at a 90-degree angle to each other. In other words, they are perpendicular, forming a right angle (90 degrees). The concept is often used in mathematics, particularly in linear algebra and geometry. Additionally, it can also describe a situation where two ideas, concepts, or approaches are mutually independent and do not influence each other.
