Described by its originator Jean-Jacques Kupiec as "the extension of natural selection, taking place inside the organism among the cell populations of which it is constituted. It ends with evolution and ontogenesis merging into a single phenomenon."[2]
Hierarchical analysis of ontogenetic time describing heterochrony and taxonomy of developmental stages is viewed as a segmentation of ontogenetic time depicting phylogenesis.[3] This permits the graphical depiction of time based evolutions of organs for a set of species, and is consistent with accepted theories of evolutionary biology.[4]
