Ko and Neuberg’s framework links life-history priorities to ecological affordances but foregrounds conditions of relative stability, thereby underrepresenting volatility. Volatility is a constitutive ecological parameter, altering affordance availability and reliability. Incorporating anticipated affordances, stratified resilience, and volatility as a higher-order constraint sharpens the model’s theoretical scope and ecological validity under conditions of systemic crisis.
