0026 How to theorize the nature of the author’s portrayal of an omega principle?

Humans adapt to the potential of triadic relations.  Triadic relations are indifferent to nature and culture.  Nature is perfused with triadic relations.  So is culture.

0027 How does the intersection change when passing from the biological to the cultural?

Here is my guess.

The niche_1H situates ‘something’ external to the species.  Adaptations_2H exploit that ‘something’ in the normal context of cultural selection_3H.

The genome_1V situates ‘something’ internal to the species.  DNA resides in lineages.  So, this ‘something’ is foundational to a cultural lineage_1V and gives rise to the form of the cultural being_2V in the normal context of institutional development_3V.

0028 So, here is the resulting intersection.

0029 How about an application?

Here, I will develop a narrative… a theoretical expression… applying the omega principle to the authors’ professional trauma.

This theoretical expression does not capture the nightmare that these professors endured.  Rather, it is a speculation about the evolutionary changes within their narrative.  In particular, the intersection for biological evolution somehow applies to a contemporary shift occurring within cultural selection_3H and institutional development_3V.  Figuratively, the intersection applies to a cultural episode of punctuated equilibrium.

0030 I start with the institution that these two professors labored in for fifteen years.  Evergreen State College (pre-2017) is an institution that evolved in American civilization.

Here is a picture of the intersection for Evergreen State College (before 2017) at the beginning of the authors’ journey.

That is a start.

Further specification is required.
