- Physical principle of stable states separated by energy barriers, allowing discrete jumps; exemplified in clocks, switches, molecular isomerism, and life.
- Explains why planaria with messy genomes have robust morphologies.
- Feedback loop where increased competency makes structural genome less visible to selection, driving further competency gains.
