In the event Wade doesnt respond, here is an answer - There are no ends. Thinking in those terms when dealing with evolution are a sure way to confusion. Unless your argument is that the future is static and can be known now, today - then codefied, then some formula applied that is complete and will answer an evolution question. The next question is, "is the path unintelligible", and I say except for a very small window, yes.
