I feel like I completely understand your problem, but cannot solve it.  You
point to, what is for me, the most  bemusing problem in evolutionary theory,
the evolution of natural selection.  Given the developmental entanglement of
traits, how do they become modules for the purpose of selection.  The
tension between developmental biologists and Dawkins-like biologists is
around this poing.  Nobody disagrees that there is a lot of entanglement and
nobody disagrees that some traits get selected.  I agree that the burden of
proof lies on the side of selection theorist to explain how selection itself
is possible!  This what I find so tempting about Stephen’s energy flow
ideas.   Is there a “least action” explanation for modularity?

Similarly, is this a place where SteveG-style descriptions will meet
Gibson-style explanations?
