How to use "Mechanistic" in context?
A mechanistic explanation is one that emphasizes the natural world, and the laws that govern it. To be a mechanistic explanation, an event must be ordered, and its parts must be able to operate independently of one another. This type of explanation is often used to explain how systems work.
For example, consider the evolution of a clam. Clams growing in the open ocean must react quickly to changes in their environment. If the ocean temperature rises, they can open their shells wider to take in more air. If the ocean temperature falls, they must close their shells to conserve energy.
