The problem raised by Richard Norman, which interferes with
the ability to zip an organism description, is that environmental
factors affect development and thus the organism description. CNCabej's
arguments are I think subsumed under the category of non-genetic
effects. And I fail to see how any of this affects the ability to apply
mathematical tools to simplify a description.
JE:-
Epigenetics reduces genetics to a nested set 100% within epigenetics and
not the reverse. This means that genetics remains deductive from
epigenetics and not the reverse. IOW, both are required to form a bona
fide theory of inheritance.
Mathematical tools can drastically _oversimplify_ (delete or alter a
constant employed as critical frame of reference for an entire theory)
i.e. may not just simplify (delete or alter a theory variable). It is
the _nested level_ affected by environmental factors which is so very
important. The higher that level happens to be the greater the effect
because nested levels are multiplicatively and not just additively
associated, i.e. they produce increasing, geometric developmental effects.
From a falsifiable Darwinian perspective all nested levels within one
fertile organism remain fitness contained so they can be selected using
just ONE fitness (one fertile organism fitness) i.e. all nested sets of
fitness remain 100% non reversibly contained within just the one, same
empirically based Darwinian fitness: Total Darwinian Fitness (TDF). This
is defined as the total number of strictly fertile forms reproduced per
parent per population. TDF is the only fitness which can be employed to
test Darwinism to falsification.
