- Argues that stochastic outcomes in regeneration are still collective decisions, not cellular chaos.
- Developmental bioelectricity is proposed as a tractable entry point to understand the informational architecture of collective intelligence in morphogenesis.
- Planarian head number can be permanently altered by re-writing bioelectric prepatterns.
- Manipulating bioelectric states can reprogram target morphology without changing genetics.hypothesis0.771Demonstrated by inducing two-headed planaria via ion channel drugs; predicts cancer normalization.
- Proposes a biomedical strategy of controlling growth by exploiting the learning capacity of cellular collectives.
- Predictive hypothesis validated in planarians and other species; enables therapeutic manipulation of morphogenetic targets.
