Notes
1Perhaps self-organisation plays an important part too besides variation and selection (cf. Jenkins, Citation2000; Depew and Weber, Citation1995; Kauffman, Citation1993). I shall come back to the role of self-organization.
2“Warum ist überhaupt Seiendes und nicht vielmehr nichts?” (Sein und Zeit, my translation above from the German original, J. K.)
3Scholars like Deahaene (Citation1997) postulate a similar nativistic position i for arithmetic abilities, namely a “number sense”.
