Re: better simulating actual FriAMWe

Or  genetics è schizophrenia èShaman (in some societies) è many offspring

 

Or two genes for schizophrenia leads to low reproductive outcome but ONE gene leads to genius. 

 

Either way the gene is retained in the population.

What about:

 

genetics -> schizophrenia -> psychotic behavior -> shortened life -> fewer offspring

 

Note that I am asking not asserting.

Glen,

 

Notice, FWIW, that the original gen-phen distinction was understood to forbid  any information traveling from phen to gen.

In a project I was working on in the 70s we said that we were trying to identify phenotypic manifestations of a genetic predisposition to develop schizophrenia.  Does that work for you?

You're both a little wrong and a little right. The gen-phen map is inspired by genotype-phenotype. But liberties are taken with what it can mean. In particular, I've worked with some clinicians who call any pattern they're looking for in their patients a "phenotype". It's a very loose use of the word, but it gets the job done for them. For *me*, I tend to mean *only* systems where the phenomen[on|a] exert[s] some kind of downward causation on the generators (mostly just setting constraints). Maybe I should start calling it the phen-gen map instead?
