RE: Consciousness, Interference, and Scale

in #life3 months ago

Michael Levin has learned to interfere with bioelectrical networking of cells to produce novel physiological morphology in several species. This interference does not involve DNA, enzymes, hormones, or proteins at all, but rather only the ions that catalyze intercellular electrical signaling. This demonstrates that our physiological morphology is not any instruction set coded by the chemical structure in our cells, but is determined by the conscious agreement of our cells to follow a specific predetermined physiological plan. We don't regenerate limbs because our cells don't agree to, not because they can't. Levin's work shows that changing the bioelectrical intercellular signaling is all that is necessary to change that conscious decision our cells mutually agree to, and has induced limb regeneration in species that, like us, normally do not regrow missing limbs.

Dear @valued-customer !
I guess you're saying that each cell has a different personality!
I wonder if one of my cells could break away from my body and grow into another being!
I hope you won't be disappointed that I didn't understand your great and wonderful English sentences!

Can Joseph from Oregon understand your English?😃

I do understand consciousness in that way.

"I wonder if one of my cells could break away from my body and grow into another being!"

Another aspect of Levin's research involved studying cancer. He showed that cancer cells become disconnected from the intercellular bioelectrical communications network. This precipitates their rapid proliferation, because they are not participating in that communal agreement to create a body according to the physiological plan connected cells each and all act to make. When he interfered with communications of cells undergoing cancerous proliferation he was able to restore their connection to that network, and their proliferation ceased. They weren't 'cured' of their cancer, but they no longer were outside the network that agreed on the physiological plan the network worked to achieve, so they no longer acted contrary to that plan.

Thanks!
