• is Hypergendered stage; 𝑆𝑡 ( ) • is developmental/maturity state; 𝐷𝑡 ( ) • represents relevant environment or other concurrent biological inputs; 𝐸𝑡 ( ) • represents developmental history; 𝐻𝑡 ( ) • is the resulting biological realization. 𝐵𝑡 ( ) Suppose 𝑆𝑡1 ( ) = 𝑆𝑡2 ( ) = 𝑆𝐹 4, but 𝐷𝑡1 ( ) ≠𝐷𝑡2 ( ). Then there is no reason to expect Φ 𝑆𝐹 4, 𝐷𝑡1 ( ), 𝐸𝑡1 ( ), 𝐻𝑡1 ( ) ( ) = Φ 𝑆𝐹 4, 𝐷𝑡2 ( ), 𝐸𝑡2 ( ), 𝐻𝑡2 ( ) ( ). Holding one causal input fixed does not hold the entire function fixed when other inputs change. This is the causal analogue of the logical non-entailment. 102. Interaction terms make maturity-stage combinations potentially important If is nonlinear, the stage can interact with maturity rather than merely add to it. Schematically, Φ 𝐵= 𝑎𝑆+ 𝑏𝐷+ 𝑐𝑆× 𝐷 ( ) +···. The term 𝑐𝑆× 𝐷 ( ) means that the effect of being can depend on the person’s maturity state, and the effect of maturation 𝑆𝐹 𝑛 can depend on which is occupied. 𝑆𝐹 𝑛 Thus an structure could develop one way before puberty, another way during puberty, and another way 𝑆𝐹 5 after sexual maturity without the person ever leaving . 𝑆𝐹 5 This is a causal possibility, not a logical theorem about exact phenotypes. It is nevertheless an important inference because it shows why keeping stage and maturity separate does not make them causally isolated. 103. Orthogonal does not mean causally unrelated When this document calls stage and maturity “distinct axes,” it means they are not definitionally identical. It does not mean they can never influence each other. Three different theoretical relationships are possible: 1. Independent: changes in one do not causally influence the other. 2. One-way coupled: stage influences maturation or maturation influences stage. 3. Two-way coupled: each can alter the development of the other. The new canon establishes only the anti-collapse rule: 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 ⇏ 𝑑𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑝𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑎𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡. It does not force a complete causal-independence thesis.
