Quote:You listed the 747 as a target for the cumulative selection of manned flight, the Ferrari as a target for the cumulative selection of wheeled transportation, and the moon landing as a target for the cumulative selection of rocketry.
Now can you demonstrate cumulative selection without utilizing a target? That was the question asked.
There were not targets at the time of the first developments. Obviously with the benefit of hindsight they appear like targets when patently they weren't.
What you are asking for is an example of development without an endpoint - which would be whatever stage that development is at now. That is logically impossible unless there is something which has had no development.
In other words your request makes no sense.
