Baldwin effect analogy

TAME proposes that multi-scale competency provides a patience for evolution, analogous to the Baldwin effect, by masking negative effects of mutations.

framework
  • A framework originating from Levin that formalizes how hierarchical biological systems—from cells to tissues to organs—exhibit integrated problem-solving and adaptive plasticity across multiple levels of organization (metabolic, transcriptional, physiological, anatomical). It models system-level behaviors as emergent from competition and cooperation among heterogeneous subunits within composite agents, explaining how goals and regulations scale across biological scales.
