Full Title: Bloodlines, Bastards, and Population Genetics: Why Fantasy Monarchies Need Metaphysics
A formal research paper that analyzes the genetic plausibility of hereditary magical traits in fantasy worldbuilding through the lens of population genetics. It demonstrates that strict patrilineal or matrilineal succession without metaphysical enforcement violates fundamental principles of autosomal inheritance, proposing a consistency framework for authors and critiquing several popular fantasy settings through ablation studies.
