- Asserts that evolution exploits a software-like layer for anatomical form, enabling rapid morphological change.
- Planarian head number can be permanently altered by re-writing bioelectric prepatterns.
- Stored representation of correct anatomical goal, stable yet rewritable by physiological experience; basis for morphospace navigation.
