I agree with Brandon (1996, Chapter 11), however, that mechanisms need not be lower-level spatial parts of entities. They may be higher-level functional parts, or contexts, which are parts of the systems which contain the entities in question. Thus, mechanisms may be at higher spatial levels rather than at, or in addition to, lower levels. 

Because the heuristic strategy explores possible general theories, it may appear explanatorily weak. However, how possibly explanations are characteristic of evolutionary biology (Brandon, 1990).
