Genotype-phenotype mapping and the end of the 'genes as blueprint' metaphor.
Paper summary
Reviews genotype-to-phenotype mapping and critiques the blueprint metaphor. Developmental processes, environmental context, and nonlinear interactions mediate the transformation from inherited information to realized traits.
Relevance to the project
Directly supports treating an evolved builder as a developmental process. Record how mutations affect realized network structure rather than assuming genotype edits map locally to phenotype.
A conceptual critique does not select a particular builder encoding.
