A Stress-Threshold and Cybernetic Architecture of Punctuated Evolution: Modular Phenotypic Unfolding and Genetic Stabilization (SUNF/FUNF)
This work proposes a unified evolutionary framework — SUNF → FUNF — describing a possible temporal architecture in which environmentally mediated phenotypic accessibility may precede subsequent genetic and regulatory stabilization. The framework addresses how organisms can undergo rapid phenotypic transitions without i...
