What...is....word? The whole point of the concept of a social construct is to designate things which are not, in fact or in principle, derived from physics, chemistry, or biology. Things which are not derived from any objective reality..whatsoever. Social constructs are explicitly and exclusively relative, not objective..or subjective, things.
there is no reason to believe the difference between cultivar and wild organism is systematic and consistent, and not mere named on ad hoc basis in each case according to some a priori determination of which is the wild and which the domesticate.
