claim

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.
gates
Core conjecture linking evolutionary and organismic individuality.
When interactions constitute non-linearly separable functions, it creates a ‘we’; what we are doing becomes a relevant variable.
gates
Explains how non-separability shifts identity from parts to collective.
