And I think that what's happening here, like with a lot of biology, is that cells have to update their priors based on experience.

And so I think that they come from an old body.

They have a lot of priors about how many years they've been around and all that.

But their new environment screams, I'm an embryo.

Basically, there's no other cells around.

You're being bent into a pretzel.

They actually express some embryonic genes.

They say, you're an embryo.

And I think...

It's not enough new evidence to roll them all the way back, but it's enough to update them to about 28% back.

Well, first of all, yes, yes.

And that's my hypothesis.

And we have a whole bunch of research being done on this.

There was a study where they went into an old age home and they redid the decor like 60s style when all these folks were really young.

And they found all kinds of improvements in blood chemistry and stuff like that because they say it was sort of mentally taking them back to when they were the way they were at that time.

I think this is a basal version of that, that basically...

If you're finding yourself in an embryonic environment, what's more plausible, that you're young or what?

I think this is the basic feature of biology is to update priors based on experience.

Why that's not, well, I'm not claiming it's simple.

That is in no way simple, but because, because again, you have to, all, all of this, all of the regenerative medicine stuff that we do balances on one key thing, which is learning to communicate to the system.
