AI helping me unpack this has been useful as always. 4o’s big picture take is pretty mind blowing if true..

The Big Picture

We’re moving toward a bioengineering model where:

• DNA = parts list

• Bioelectric state = software layer that determines what parts get used, how, and where

• Tissue-level intelligence = emergent behavior that arises from cellular “decisions” informed by this field

This opens the door to non-genetic control of form and function—a kind of biological “soft programming” that works at the level of collective cellular decision-making.

My Take?

This is the real frontier. CRISPR is great for editing the genes, but if you can rewrite the body plan without touching the code, you’re playing at a higher level of control. It’s the difference between soldering hardware and rewriting an operating system.
