Nope, no knowledge is required. Just like how in evolving power replication, it isn't necessary to understand how one power branches to another (at least I don't think so). I'd think you'd need at least some vague idea of how the material you're "evolving" relates to the material you'd already absorbed, but you wouldn't exactly need knowledge about how the object/material works.
