• What features of morphogenesis enable evolution to search a difficult space with pleiotropy, degeneracy, and redundancy so rapidly and effectively?question0.734
  Core open problem: asks how cellular competency affords evolutionary speed and robustness despite the ruggedness of the genotype-phenotype mapping.
• Biology's robustness, open-endedness, evolvability, and unique complexity likely depend on the fact that evolution works with an agential material.claim0.731
  Central claim linking life's properties to the inherent competencies of its material substrate.
• Evolution learns to generalize beyond default morphologies, producing problem-solving machines.claim0.727
  Argues that evolutionary learning goes beyond specific adaptations.

• MCA enables generalization: many genotypes map to the same functional phenotype, increasing robustness and speeding exploration.claim0.721
  Subclaim of how MCA speeds evolution.
• How can evolution be so rapid and effective at using mutation to address opportunities of form and function?question0.720
  Open problem motivating the paper.
