Some notes from tonights reading of "The Body Electric" by Robert O. Becker.

Hans Driesch's concept of "entelechy" - a driving force behind life that defies physical laws - resonates with me. An idea that was met with resistance in its time, a pattern that seems to repeat throughout history, where curiosity and innovation often clash with established dogma.

I'm intrigued by the holographic nature of cellular biology, where cells retain the entire genetic code during division.

This challenges the traditional view that cell division is a one-way process, and that mature cells can't dedifferentiate back into primitive embryonic cells.

However, it appears they can.

It explains why fractures don't heal like broken bones, which trigger a dedifferentiation process that enables regeneration through primitive embryonic cells like osteoblasts.

The Salamander is punk af.
