		Creole principle #1: To accept change and exchange across generations and culture groups is the natural dynamic and greater tradition of life itself.
		Note: The adaptability of the Seychellois creole not only asserts itself on the foreign settler to the Seychelles (frequently over generations), but is distinctly evident in the ease by which Seychellois generally adapt to outside cultures and linguistic/cultural alternatives.

		On the other hand, variation in the structural features of Creoles (lexified by the same language) is correlated with variation in the linguistic and sociohistorical ecologies of their developments (Mufwene 2001).
		For instance, Adolfo Coelho (1880±1886) partly anticipated Bickerton's (1984) `language bioprogram hypothesis' in stating that Creoles' owe their origin to the operation of psychological or physiological laws that are the same everywhere, and not to the influence of the former languages of the people among whom these dialects are found.
