How Far Does a Given Level of Descriptive Granularity Remain Valid in Models of Biological Behavior?A Comparative Research Program for Reproduction, Prediction, Intervention, and Coarse-Graining
This research note proposes a comparative program for examining how far different levels of descriptive granularity remain sufficient in models of biological behavior. Rather than assuming that one explanatory level is universally correct, the paper separates model scope, granularity, form, available information, and l...
