Do the Papers’ claims behave like real dynamics?

Unaided evolution climbs fast, then stalls below the peak — and stays there.
numbersceiling 0.810 · evolution plateaus at 0.788 · a gap it never closes
whyRugged landscape: single-step climbing can’t cross the valley to higher ground.
Urantia“primitive man reaches the limit of natural evolutionary development.” — 51:0.1
model: a population on a rugged NK fitness landscape · 16 loci, K=12 · 900 agents on a 30×30 grid · single landscape, seed-averaged — illustrative, not statistics
Superior stock dropped into an already-settled people is diluted away — none survives intact.
numbersthe violet line → 0% surviving carriers; the people lifted only +0.016
whyIntrogression: the distinct stock is recombined away; only a fraction of its genes is kept.
Urantia“the early dilution and the eventual submergence of the Adamic inheritance.” — 76:6.4
model: a population on a rugged NK fitness landscape · 16 loci, K=12 · 900 agents on a 30×30 grid · single landscape, seed-averaged — illustrative, not statistics
It is a matter of dose: too little introduced stock is lost; enough, built first, lifts the people.
numbersintroduced fraction → gain: 1%→+0.00 (lost) · 4%→+0.02 · 10%→+0.03 · 20%→+0.05 · 40%→reaches the peak
whyBelow threshold the gift dilutes to nothing; a large reserve keeps local frequency high enough to fix.
Urantia“…do not begin to amalgamate… until their own group numbers over one million” (51:5.2); “Adam and Eve never mate with the evolutionary races… a function of the Adamic progeny.” (51:5.3)

In the prescribed order — biology first, then the bestowal — the people reach the peak.
numbersbestowal then uplift → 0.810 (the ceiling) · evolution alone never leaves 0.788
whyThe bestowal is a path walked, not a decree from above — the bestowal Son “establishes the ‘new and living way’” by living and dying it (52:5.5). The people learn the wider way of seeking; the uplift’s genes are then found and fixed. Together they span the chasm.
Urantiabiology first — “this biologic attainment signals… the biologic uplifters” (51:0.1); the age opens “with the mortal races blended and biologically fit” (52:4.1) — then the one incarnated bestowal: “a Paradise bestowal Son always arrives” (52:5.1). One bestowal per world (20:2.7) — on Urantia, the Creator Son himself.

Revelation does not (mainly) raise the peak — it reaches the same level far sooner.
numberssame level reached in 11 generations instead of 38 — ~27 saved (≈70%)
whyNon-local information lets the population cross valleys it would otherwise grind through slowly.
Urantia“…a technique whereby ages upon ages of time are saved…” — 101:5.1
