- Suggests training tissues as an alternative to micromanaging molecular pathways.
- Morphogenesis is trainable via reinforcement learning for specific morphological outcomes.hypothesis0.896If cells form a collective intelligence, they should be trainable by rewards/punishments.
- Ongoing test prediction: tissues can associate stimuli with rewards to modify anatomy.
- Robustness in morphogenesis is achieved through plasticity and multiscale problem-solving, not hardwired repeatability.hypothesis0.827Developmental robustness across perturbations arises from the cellular competency to reach the same goal by different means, not from fixed local rules; higher-order robustness.
