I don't understand what you are asking. Can you state your question with more explanation so I can attempt to answer?

I think the term "evolve" may say or assume more than our knowledge that all that exists is embedded in spacetime. Therefore, there is time-development in general but evolving means much more than that mere fact. In what sense is the death of a living being said to have evolved? Do we have to invoke an afterlife?

"Once one asks questions such as 'when is something not a mimic?' or 'what are examples of things that don't evolve?' they will see the limitations and boundaries of the concept/percept in question."

I don't think there are any examples what-so-ever of anything that has not evolved. If you can think of just one, give an example, and I think I can explain to you how it evolved.
