- Event where lower-level individuals form a new, higher-level cooperative life form, such as the transition from cells to multicellular organisms.
- Foundational framework consisting of systems (wires), processes (boxes), and composition (wirings); basis for quantum and compositional reasoning.
- Framework dividing covariance of character and fitness into between-collective and within-collective components; addresses limitation of kin selection.
- Theoretical framework for phase transitions; the paper builds on its scaling approach
