This interpretation is similar to conceptual models that tend to abandon the classical assumption of a strict hierarchy during differentiation and understand cell differentiation as a dynamic process of "isologous diversification" or autostabilization of stochastic processes [26], [27], [28], [29].
Connective unity is a weaker notion than its specific ideal of reductive unity; this requires asymmetric relations of reduction, with assumptions about hierarchies of levels of description and the primacy conceptual, ontological, epistemological, and so on of a fundamental representation.
