One thing to note is that the movement along the development continuum in
fact reflects increasing degrees of bifurcations such that we see
complexity/chaos at work where the increase in social interactions at the
'lamarck' end increases genetic diversity.
This is a property of the method of analysis such that if you draw a line to
symbolise the dimension you have to start branching once you have crossed
from a reactive to a proactive approach, you move not from a 1:1 but from a
1:many and that type of dichotomy, 1:many seems to be fundamental 'in here'
just as it seems fundamental 'out there', but the perhaps that is just an
illusion, a property of the method :-)
best,
Chris.
