• What Is The Relationship Between Evolutionary Individuality Andquestion0.786
• How can selection explain adaptations at system level before the higher-level unit exists as an evolutionary unit?question0.777
  Fundamental challenge: conventional evolutionary theory cannot explain system-level features required for ETI without presupposing the higher-level unit.
• How Can Lowerlevel Selection Favor Traits That Servequestion0.775
• Evolutionary transitions must be explained by bottom-up selection on existing lower-level units without presupposing higher-level unitclaim0.774
• The kind of relationships necessary to produce evolutionary individuality – the generation and heritability of fitness differences at the collective level – are the same as those required to produce organismic individuality – the information integration and collective action characteristic of a self.claim0.769
  Core conjecture linking evolutionary and organismic individuality.
• 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).claim0.767
  Core claim: monotonic non-linearities are insufficient; evolutionary outcomes must change depending on context.
