(35) New S-lineages are spontaneously formed, on an ongoing basis, as "variations" on pre-existing S-lineages. In this way, new selection processes arise, and episodes of selective displacement occur, on an ongoing basis.
(36) Furthermore, the mechanisms of S-lineage variation are unjustified--they are not mediated by knowledge or prediction of the properties such variant S-lineages would exhibit. More specifically: the S-value of a variant relative to any other S-lineages with which the variant might interact in a selection process has no influence on whether or not that variant will be generated in the first place.[7]
