Once established in a deme, a negatively heterotic one with a selective disadvantage for heterozygotes–DW gene arrangement can spread in homozygous form through a subdivided population by random local extinction and colonization.
-
Hedrick and Levin 1984 suggested a mechanism that greatly increases the probability of fixation for negatively heterotic chromosome rearrangements during migration and colonization of other demes.

This presumably requires physics which appeals to the heterotic group E_8, or in string theory the complexified CE_8 = E_8xE_8, which is a model of the heterotic string.

But we know, for instance, that in the heterotic example I discussed above, the string threshold corrections are expressed in terms of the Dedekind function in terms of the moduli which has nothing to do with N = 1 D = 4 SUGRA couplings.

In the early 1980's, I began to work on string theory again and in 1984, together with a group of younger collaborators, discovered the heterotic string, which at the time seemed to offer the possibility of explaining the
