Hassan Ajami is a Lebanese-American philosopher and scientific researcher who has published twenty books in Arabic and nine in English, covering a wide range of topics including philosophy and science.

In his recent book, Our Informative Universe: Cosmological Genes and Cosmic Mutation, published by Lambert Academic Publishing, Ajami proposes that the universe is composed of "cosmological genes"—fundamental informational units that dictate the behavior of the cosmos and give rise to regularities and patterns in events.

However, according to Ajami, these cosmological genes are subject to mutation, much like biological genes. This process, which he calls "cosmic mutation," explains how established patterns in the universe can occasionally be disrupted. Thus, his hypothesis of cosmological genes and their potential for mutation offers an explanation for both the consistency and variability observed in the universe.

The book explores various applications of this hypothesis, through which Ajami presents a unified framework for understanding diverse phenomena—such as life, mind, and language—in terms of cosmological genes and cosmic mutation.
