Its not the same as pleiotropy. The argument isnt that the proteins or genes' direct functions are pleiotropic. Rather they act in concert.
I've been calling this the 'massively pleiotropic mutation model' for about 17 years, but whatever. https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2017/06/its-like-all-connected-man/530532/ …

I argued for a many-to-many mapping from genes to traits. Pleiotropic from the genes' viewpoint, polygenic from the traits' viewpoint.

Well, both. Pleiotropic, but 'massively' in the sense of polygenically

(Hmm: Pleio-tropic means 'many effects', one gene many effects. The 'massively' --> approx., a great many genes are very pleiotropic.)

Now the feeling. I created a proto-Robo Advisor platform in the late 90s. We were about to get funding and then 2001 hit.

I think we're better off assuming genetics are two magnitudes more complex than what we currently understand at any point in time.
