How can we hope to understand organismal development when it is controlled by huge, complex networks of interacting genes?

One option is to move away from molecular details and focus on learning representations and rules.

New Perspective form Rory Maizels & me: "Gene regulatory networks: from correlative models to causal explanations"
Gene regulatory networks are supposed to give us mechanistic explanations of development, so why are we drowning in 'hairballs' of statistical correlations?
