Exaptation allows bonus use cases to grow into new primary use cases.

  • Exaptation allows bonus use cases to grow into new primary use cases.
    • The primary use case is just a toehold to a new primary use case.
      • The bonus isn't hugely valuable, but it doesn't detract.
    • But some bonuses will grow on their own because they'll be useful.
      • Especially if they have a compounding effect.
    • This happens continually.
    • You get to a new toehold of a primary use case, which gives you adjacency to new bonuses, which could grow to become the new primary.
