Heywoods "argument" puts the cart before the horse.
We know evolutionary systems create intellect.
We know intellects create evolutionary systems.
We don't know what came first.....the evolutionary system or the intellect. You just assume it was the evolutionary systems because such an assumption is necessary to maintain your atheistic faith.

The parent "box" is all Heywood systems. If all Heywood systems have the property of requiring intellect then the "bottom boxes" have that property as well. The bottom boxes would be "Heywood systems which use reproduction as its means of replication" and "Heywood systems which do not use reproduction as its means of replication".
