Card coverage

Candidate only

Proposed concept boundary: Variation and differential retention can change a population or practice over time.

Open decision

Define variation, selection and retention mechanisms; avoid importing biological assumptions into every organizational analogy.

Missing work

  1. Review concept identity and role ownership before authoring a Card.
  2. Author role-local scope, logic and required method, diagnostic, objective or action content for the selected functions.
  3. Record exact inspected sources and transformations, or explicitly review QE editorial synthesis with assertion-level evidence limits.
  4. Obtain editorial acceptance separately from structural validation.

World mechanic

Populations generate or contain variants; environmental conditions can differentially preserve them, changing trait distributions across repeated selection. This mechanism does not necessarily improve fitness or serve a goal.
