Of course it applies to evolution. Is evolution somehow existing in a math free universe?
And it is a trivial task. Regardless of the biological system’s complexity, it is finite and discrete, and that is all that is necessary to say algorithmic information theory applies to the system.
To argue otherwise entails biological systems must be capable of super Turing computations, equivalent to being a halting oracle. If you are right, then I’m not the only one making a breakthrough here
