Space-time
We start with three structurally identical and isolated CA. Each ages at a different velocity from a previous experiment we know that CA-3 ages slowest. What is the relative aging velocity of the other two?
Aging is only partially related with structure,
and cannot be deduced from it. Previous experiments were designed to
evaluate this hidden dimension with different means like: somatic
injury or,
differentiation induction (also chapter 62).
In the present experiment CA-3 age structure controls differentiation
of the other two. Its age distribution sets max age
of CA-1 and CA-2 and so
controls their differentiation
.
In the next experiment, CA-3 age distribution sets the differentiation threshold (= max age) of other CA .When cells reach age max
their age is set to zero (=white) . CA-1 starts differentiating earlier
than CA-2 and therefore ages faster
.
Oriented turnover
This experiment illustrates the central role of biological age in the behavior of processes in our body. In all processes
biological age advances in one direction, hence the term, oriented turnover.
Each process (CA) is a frame
of reference which cruises at a
different velocity in the age space. It interacts
with other processes, and evolves. Each reference frame (CA, or process)
consists of a three dimensional (somatic) structure and an independent (biological)
clock. It is a space-time. Yet unlike
in other known space-times the laws operating in one process (CA) cannot be deduced from laws in other processes. There is no transformation
like the Galilean or Lorentz,
with the aid of which this might be achieved.
WOB
The set of processes
in our body is called Wisdom of the Body (WOB). Why wisdom? Since in any
instance, all processes settle at a common solution. This requires a knowledge which beats our understanding. WOB is regarded
here as a non linear black box, with ingoing and outgoing messages. WOB
has a language, which enables the physician to communicate with it. All
that is required is to understand its language, and assist it in its quest
for optimal solutions. This quest may require resources
which WOB may lack. Like water. When
we sweat and lose water, WOB gradually loses its control of our water metabolism.
It then sends to the mind a message of thirst, as if saying: "go and
get me water." By itself, WOB cannot get water, and depends therefore
on the mind. While WOB is extremely sophisticated, the resources it may
require are generally simple. At
times even a glass of water may be enough.
