• Can external observers infer the anatomical goal state of a developing system by observing stress patterns?question0.737
• Cells exhibit generalization in physiological space, recognizing novel stressors as members of familiar classes to deploy transcriptional solutions.hypothesis0.730
  Predicts that cells can categorize perturbations and mount appropriate, not just hardwired, responses.
• Anatomical goal states could not be inferred from observation of stress states, revealing limits of external observer knowledgefinding0.728
• Many biological patterns function as goals the system actively pursues (encoded setpoints), not as passive mechanical outcomesclaim0.723
  Core claim of §3.1, supported by regeneration, twinning, and kidney-tubule scaling data.
• Stress, as a systemic response to distance from setpoint states, serves as the glue of agency, binding subunits into higher Selves.claim0.721
  Stress propagation through gap junctions recruits distant cells to act cooperatively.
• Stress is a conserved, generic principle of biological organization scalable across levels (subcellular to multicellular).claim0.721
• Goals and stressors are key invariants unifying morphogenesis, behavior, and physiological allostasis.hypothesis0.719
• Could an external observer predict the target pattern being developed by observing fluctuations in stress?question0.718
  Specific question addressed in the stress map analysis.
