The mechanisms they talk about are rather like the modal modulations I described in my modes tutorial - opening and filling gaps (“indels” in their useful terminology). It’s a kind of “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny” situation - I was talking about compositional processes, they’re talking about historical ones.
