dumb question for genetics people spose you have a genotypically-complex heritable trait, lets say height spose you arrange for people +1sd to reproduce, and all of their offspring who are at ~+1sd to reproduce with one another, and all of /their/ offspring at ~+1sd, etc

now consider the entire set of offspring of a generation rather than just those chosen to reproduce how many generations does it take for E(height) to be +1sd from the general population? Seems like it's either two iterations or it goes asymptotic (?)

Well, it depends if you mean +1 SD of the original population, or +1 SD in the current population (which will change in each generation).
