This comment contrasts the axiomatic treatment of transitions in Operator Theory with the more inductive and descriptive treatment of transitions in Major Evolutionary Transitions Theory. I conclude that Operator Theory demonstrates the need for, and the possibility of, a much fi ner-grained analysis of major transitions than Major Evolutionary Transitions Theory currently offers.
