Which Came First The Higherlevel Unit Of Selection

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Before a transition, the higher-level unit of selection does not exist, yet complex adaptations creating that unit must evolve through bottom-up selection on lower-level units.claim0.816
  Central theoretical puzzle in ETI research: explains why existing frameworks struggle with ETI explanation.
• How can selection explain adaptations at system level before the higher-level unit exists as an evolutionary unit?question0.812
  Fundamental challenge: conventional evolutionary theory cannot explain system-level features required for ETI without presupposing the higher-level unit.
