MDPE.24:6 - Sources and Epistemic Boundaries
| Source or practice line | Contribution used here | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
A.1 — Recognize a Whole with Parts and B.2 — Whole Reidentification | General construction, identity, existing-whole comparison, and whole-reidentification requirements. | They do not supply the Music-and-Dance candidate relations, observations, cases, or project consequences. |
C.36 — Cultural Evolution and Cultural-Evolution Engineering | Separation of local intervention, cultural relations, new-whole claims, mediation, and distributed change. | A cultural-evolution case does not itself establish a new holon or authorize a project. |
| Music-and-Dance eco-evo-devo synthesis (unpublished source note) | Candidate-level probes: states, memory, transitions, selection, temporal persistence, and downward effects; music, dance, camp, and platform cases. | The transfer from multilevel-evolution models is a working hypothesis and does not replace FPF construction or kind criteria. |
| Vanchurin et al., Toward a theory of evolution as multilevel learning | A mathematical and theoretical source for multiscale learning-like dynamics. | A model scale, coarse-graining, or macrovariable is not by itself a world-side holon. |
| Czaplicka, Baumann, and Rahwan, algorithmic mediation and cumulative culture | A source for asking how algorithmic mediation changes cultural transmission and accumulation. | A modelled mediator or observed influence does not establish that the platform, practice, or style is a new whole. |
Reconsider the whole-reidentification decision if a domain study supplies a better discriminating observation. Use FPF and direct domain Methods when they already supply the complete result.
