I find it very hard to believe that you could miss this point. Think of the 
big bang, the way the universe expands in every direction from a single 
point. It doesn't occupy a pre-existing space as it grows but rather space 
itself unfolds during that expansion. The evolutionary process is analogous 
insofar as new forms do not occupy some previously empty stage but rather 
these forms open up new space, lay down new turf. And this difference is 
important because the latter avoids the SOM assumption that there is a 
pre-existing objective reality in which subjects evolve, such as is evoked 
by branches growing skyward. Those assumptions suggest that evolution 
happens at certain points inside the universe and the MOQ and Wilber's 
system assert that the whole universe is itself the process and product of 
evolution. See?

The inflationary model of the universe is typically depicted with the
example of blowing up a balloon showing how all points of the surface of the
balloon can move away from each other at the same time but this is obviously
an over simplification and does not mean that inflation is smooth. In fact
one of the questions of astrophysics is why the universe is lumpy with large
clumps of matter warping space in the form of galaxies and star.

One can easily see the model of self similarly working on a cosmic scale
from galaxies to solar systems to molecules to atoms... A branching model
captures the notions of developmental stage, interdependence and ongoing
relationship pretty well I think. Oh yeah and did I mention that this
structure appears throughout nature at multiple levels and in multiple
dimensions?
