Deterministic Convergence (Genomics)
Deterministic Convergence refers to the reproducible emergence of stable genetic configurations in complex biological systems under identical conditions, even when key contributing variants are removed or perturbed. Rather than collapsing, these systems reorganize—preserving function and converging toward alternative, high-fitness states through distributed interactions among multiple variants. This behavior suggests that genomic causality is not concentrated in single genes, but instead arises from system-level constraint resolution, where multiple equivalent solutions can produce the same phenotype.
