I wonder if it makes sense to think of organs as symbiotic organisms with shared genome and partially separate epigenetics?
Cooperation happens when cooperation has a better payoff than conflict. In a world with limited resources, this may mean that either conflict must become very expensive (which is the goal of nuclear deterrence), or that everyone must be part of the same payoff regulating entity.
