An outlined subquantum theory that might be considered a possible extension of Bohmian mechanics is further discussed. In this theory a fundamental physical system is modelled as a particle endowed with a methodological probabilistic classical Turing machine, which characterizes systems as data processing devices, making of information a crucial physical concept in the determination of the system dynamics. The main idea of this theory resides in proposing a Darwinian evolutionary mechanism - therefore based on natural selection - as the central element that would determine the emergence of quantum mechanics from an evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) whose essentials are supposedly captured in three regulating principles. The Darwinian character of these regulating principles is explored.
