Evolutionary Individuality

Property where evolution of the whole is non-decomposable function of evolution of parts; central to understanding ETIs.

Claims (2)

claim

For a new level of individuality to have causal role as evolutionary unit, heritable fitness differences must be non-aggregative (not decomposable into lower-level differences).
supports
Core claim: monotonic non-linearities are insufficient; evolutionary outcomes must change depending on context.
Cognitive architectures are the same causal structures required to create fitness at collective level and integration/coordination characteristic of a self.
supports
Unifying hypothesis linking evolutionary and organismic individuality through shared informational integration requirements.

Individuality

Formal notion of what constitutes an individual agent; bridges Buddhist and information-theoretic perspectives.
Darwinian Individuality
related_to
Individuality defined by being a unit of selection possessing heritable variation in fitness; properties that properly belong to the new level
Non Linearly Separable Functions
associated_with
Mathematical property where output depends on context-dependent interaction of inputs (e.g., XOR logic); proposed as formal basis for individuality transitions.
