| contents | A paper in The Phronesis Issues preprint series applying the displacement framework.<br><br>The conventional ordering of plant evolution --- charophyte algae, then non-vascular embryophytes (mosses, liverworts, hornworts), then early tracheophytes (Cooksonia, Rhyniophytes), then lycophytes, ferns, gymnosperms, and finally angiosperms --- is presented in pedagogical and reference contexts as a settled sequence. The actual evidential basis for this ordering is substantially more fragmentary, contested, and inference-laden than the pedagogical presentation suggests. We apply the Displacement Framework's distinction between configurations that are well-supported, partially-supported, and culturally-maintained-but-underdetermined to the case of plant evolution narrative. We introduce a distinction at the centre of the analysis: presumed (inherited through teaching and accepted as default), supposed (actively hypothesised but underdetermined by evidence), and evidenced (constrained by data of sufficient quality). The conventional plant-evolution narrative is a mixture of all three, but the ratio is not what the pedagogical presentation implies. Nine propositions formalise the conventional narrative (P1), the cryptogam-first presumption versus the cryptospore evidence record (P2), the Rhynie chert moment as the rare evidentially-rich window (P3), the bryophyte paraphyly versus monophyly contest (P4), the gymnosperm-angiosperm-Gnetales position uncertainty (P5), the molecular-clock versus fossil-first-appearance discrepancy (P6), the narrative attractor in evolutionary pedagogy (P7), the preservation-bias substrate constraint on the inferential landscape (P8), and the framework's prescription for honest phylogenetic presentation (P9). The paper closes with the observation that the framework's analysis of plant evolution applies more broadly to scientific narrative inheritance: the pedagogical compression of underdetermined claims into settled-sounding sequences is itself a wrong attractor in the epistemic landscape, sustained by the cost of teaching uncertainty relative to the perceived ease of teaching narrative. |
