ACT barley seed lineage — can and can't Answer YES for the viable barley lineage. NO for the contrast lineages when digital heredity, repair, protected dormancy, or heritable variation are missing. Reason Why The main lineage can achieve genome copying under no-design laws because its hereditary information is digitally instantiated. It can also pass through protected dormancy, germinate, produce propagules, reproduce accurately, close its life cycle, and adaptively persist under saline selection. But the contrast lineages show the "can't" side: non-digital heredity blocks accurate genome copying under no-design laws, lack of repair blocks accurate self-reproduction, lack of dormancy protection blocks lineage closure through a protected seed phase, and lack of heritable variation blocks adaptive evolution and thus blocks evolvability. Check C1 OK - no-design laws are assumed C2 OK - the viable genome can be copied under no-design laws C3 OK - the viable seed can achieve protected dormancy C4 OK - the viable seed can germinate C5 OK - the viable adult can produce propagules C6 OK - the viable lineage can achieve accurate self-reproduction C7 OK - the viable lineage can achieve lineage closure C8 OK - the viable lineage can exhibit heritable variation C9 OK - the viable lineage can adaptively persist C10 OK - the viable lineage is evolvable C11 OK - the non-digital lineage cannot achieve accurate self-reproduction C12 OK - the repair-deficient lineage cannot achieve accurate self-reproduction C13 OK - the coatless lineage cannot achieve lineage closure through protected dormancy C14 OK - the static lineage cannot achieve adaptive evolution C15 OK - the static lineage cannot be an evolvable lineage
