Smolin and several other particle physicists believe that the laws of nature evolve.
They don't. Experiment shows that Newton's law, Coulomb's law, or the conservation of energy and momentum are valid all the time and everywhere. Nature's laws cannot evolve. Laws are by definition that part of nature that stays the same.
"Evolutions of laws" is doublespeak. Let us put Smolin and his companions where they belong: into oblivion.
