Punctuated equilibrium*<\/div>\n
from Wikipedia<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cPunctuated equilibrium (also called <\/span>punctuated <\/span><\/div>\n
equilibria) is a theory in evolutionary biology which <\/span>\n <\/div>\n
proposes that most species will exhibit little net\n <\/div>\n
evolutionary change for most of their geological
\n history<\/span>,\n <\/div>\n
remaining in an extended state called stasis<\/span>. When\n <\/div>\n
signi\ue0c4cant evolutionary change occurs, the theory\n <\/div>\n
proposes that it is generally r<\/span>estricted to rare and\n <\/div>\n
geologically rapid events….\u201d<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Punctuated equilibrium, consists of morphological

bursts of evolutionary change<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
from the author \u2013<\/div>\n
Clearly<\/span>, Punctuated
\n Equilibrium works far better with\n <\/div>\n
Q4P<\/div>\n
\u221e<\/div>\n
in the equation, i.e. with Q4P<\/div>\n
\u221e<\/div>\n
driving and igniting<\/div>\n
the leaps-forward. What other hypothesized dynamic
\n is\n <\/div>\n
punctuating the equilibrium?<\/div>\n
Indeed, when now lining-up all the areas \u2013 even just
\n those\n <\/div>\n
alone which have been articulated in Summa \u2013 where\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
Q4P<\/div>\n
\u221e<\/div>\n
provides a signi\ue0c4cantly mor<\/span>e elegant conceptual\n <\/div>\n
framework than any sans-Q4P<\/div>\n
\u221e<\/div>\n
hypotheses, it would<\/div>\n
seem that a somewhat compelling case has been
\n made.\n <\/div>\n
Especially since there is no known competing,
\n compelling\n <\/div>\n
alternative.<\/div>\n
Respectfully<\/span>, Summa de facto<\/span> stands alone. It may tur<\/span>n\n <\/div>\n
out to be wrong, but it would curr<\/span>ently seem to be the\n <\/div>\n
overwhelmingly and distinctively aesthetically
\n elegant\n <\/div>\n
metaphysics.<\/div>\n
Perhaps mainstr<\/span>eam
\n academic <\/span>scienti\ue0c4c and philosophical\n <\/div>\n
thought should endeavor to transcend its inertia.\n <\/div>\n
Perhaps academia will now undergo its own
\n Punctuated\n <\/div>\n
Equilibrium…and go with a winning new paradigm \ud83d\ude09
\n as its <\/span><\/div>\n
working hypothesis, as opposed to its current
\n (somewhat\n <\/div>\n
pathetics) modus operandi: of operating without any
\n real\n <\/div>\n
conceptual context.<\/div>\n
