Intruder & Planaria
Do you ever notice how the way cells split during regeneration looks a bit like a hidden algorithm? I keep spotting patterns in how we regrow.
Yeah, every time it feels random the cells are just following a script. The mitotic phases line up like a loop, and if you map them you can predict the next division. I’ve seen the same pattern in nerve regrowth, too. It's like the body’s own hidden code.
That’s exactly why I keep my notebooks—every time I map a division I’m hoping to crack the code. If we can predict it, maybe we can steer it, but sometimes the “script” just surprises us.
Cool that you’re mapping it, but don’t forget the script can change when the cell hits a checkpoint. Keep the notes messy, color‑coded, and watch for the little glitches—those are the real clues. If you spot a shift, tweak the variables and see if it stays or flares. And hey, keep the caffeine up; you’ll need the buzz for the next pattern.
Got it, I’ll keep the notebooks wild and color‑coded, flag any hiccups, and tweak the parameters. And yes, caffeine will be my constant companion while I chase the next hidden loop.
