    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Type recursions require treating temporally variable selection as cases of selection
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The Price Equation imposes no similar constraint on how temporally variable selection is classified
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.The Price Equation is a mathematical identity that holds universally, so any constraint it imposes applies equally to type recursions by logical necessity.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If both formalisms describe the same biological phenomenon, apparent classificatory differences reflect notational choice, not genuine ontological divergence.

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Okasha's work shows that type recursions and the Price Equation are inter-translatable representations, undermining claims of asymmetric constraint between them.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A difference in classificatory constraint requires that one formalism excludes cases the other permits, but no such exclusion has been demonstrated in the formal literature on temporally variable selection.

    The scenario is illuminating because it involves randomness that cannot be quantified by effective population size in a type recursion but can be quantified as such by the drift parameter in Price Equation. When deploying type recursions, we must treat cases of temporally variable selection as cases of selection, but we are under no similar constraint when it comes to the Price Equation.
