- Arbitrariness of Symbolic Conventions

- Green-Beard Effect
- The pattern was named in evolutionary biology for a hypothetical gene that simultaneously coded for a phenotypic signal — a green beard — and for altruistic behavior toward anyone displaying that signal.
This sourceIntroduces the green-beard thought experiment — a hypothetical gene coding both a phenotypic signal and altruism toward its bearers.

- This reframing, which Richard Dawkins later extended as the gene's-eye view of evolution, dissolves the paradox without invoking any mechanism outside standard population genetics
This sourceDawkins's popular extension of the gene's-eye view of Hamilton's accounting.

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 3 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.
