All Implemented Interfaces:

NumericalTrait, Phenome, net.sf.tostring0.IToString

public class Phenome_Numerical
extends Phenome_
implements NumericalTrait

Lifespan: permanent. Concrete class Phenome_Numerical is a simple implementation of Phenome with the one policy that Traits can be reduced to a numerical value. If there is no appropriate numerical value for a trait, then the Phenome_Gouldian class should be used, not Phenome_Numerical.

TODO this appears to be obsolete -- it can be replaced by Phenome_Gouldian
