3 In [[cladistics>>doc:stemmatology.Phylogenetics.WebHome]], as theorised by Willi Hennig (cf. Schmitt 2013), a [[character>>doc:stemmatology.Character.WebHome]] or a character state may be [[plesiomorphic>>doc:stemmatology.Plesiomorphic.WebHome]] (ancestral or primitive) or apomorphic (derived). The polarisation of characters (the determination of the direction of character change), which is at the core of the phylogenetic method, is comparable to the concept of "error of copying" in the [[Lachmann's method>>doc:stemmatology.Lachmann’s method]]. An apomorphic character state is equivalent to a [[secondary reading>>doc:stemmatology.Reading, secondary.WebHome]].
