Collective interactions are recurrent in microbes, though paradoxical with respect to natural selection: individual traits that support sociality are costly, hence prone to exploitation by noncarriers. Among the many related theoretical models, most overlook the physical process of group formation, relying on static and idealized formulations. In a 1st part, I design a general formal framework describing the evolutionary dynamics of a social trait that enhances individual propensity to interact as well as aggregates cohesion. I show that, under some conditions on the group size distributions experienced by the social and asocial types, socials may get positively assorted with no recognition ability, but merely as a mechanical consequence of...
