The Monterey Aquarium has an amazing exhibit demonstrating the 3 tiers of life sustained inside a wave.
1. Top layer- most hostile. Plants and sea creatures simply rock to and fro within the cycle of the wave.
2. Middle layer- adaptation and specialization. Plants/sea creatures constantly adapt to the ever changing conditions.
3. Bottom layer- stability. mostly unaffected by the chaos.
I suppose that's the Darwin thing. Funny, most never look below the surface to see what's going on. Some only see a wave. That's Samuel Coyne's meta-game. For COIN, that's how we determine why some Shias side with al Qaeda and some non-religious women blow themselves up.
