- Morphogenesis is trainable via reinforcement learning for specific morphological outcomes.hypothesis0.930If cells form a collective intelligence, they should be trainable by rewards/punishments.
- Proposes a biomedical strategy of controlling growth by exploiting the learning capacity of cellular collectives.
- Ongoing experimental test: using rewards and punishments to shape anatomical outcomes without micromanaging molecular pathways.
- The hypothesis that tissues can be trained via reinforcement learning to achieve specific anatomical outcomes, analogous to behavioral training.
- Robustness in morphogenesis is achieved through plasticity and multiscale problem-solving, not hardwired repeatability.hypothesis0.830Developmental robustness across perturbations arises from the cellular competency to reach the same goal by different means, not from fixed local rules; higher-order robustness.
- Ongoing test prediction: tissues can associate stimuli with rewards to modify anatomy.
