Primes¶
- Stochasticity vs. Determinism
- Stochastic systems with random inputs can produce highly structured statistical patterns: a random walk exhibits Brownian motion with a well-defined mean-square displacement; random mutations filtered by deterministic selection produce adaptive evolution, as Kimura (1968) showed in his neutral theory of molecular evolution; randomly firing neurons produce reliable neural codes.
This sourceFoundational neutral theory of molecular evolution: shows how stochastic genetic drift filtered by deterministic selection produces lawlike rates of molecular substitution, exemplifying order arising from stochastic aggregation.

- Variation Strategies
- Organisms with high mutation rates explore the fitness landscape faster but incur higher mutational load; organisms with low mutation rates are stable but prone to extinction under environmental change, a trade-off Kimura (1968) made precise in his neutral theory of molecular evolution.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
