1. The Meta-Pattern: Scale-Dependent Phase Transitions
This healing framework is not an isolated biological theory. It is an application of a broader Effective Field Theory (EFT) methodology previously validated in galactic dynamics [Bhosale et al. 2026].
The core insight is that complex systems—whether galaxies or tissues—exhibit Phase Transitions governed by dimensionless control parameters, rather than by the accumulation of microscopic details.
2. The Isomorphism (Gravity ≤ftrightarrow Healing)
| Feature | Galactic Dynamics (ISL) | Biological Healing (This Framework) |
|---|---|---|
| The Anomaly | Missing Mass (Rotation Curves) | Missing Regeneration (Scarring) |
| Traditional Fix | Dark Matter (Invisible Particles) | Growth Factors (Invisible Chemicals) |
| Our Solution | Phase Transition of Spacetime | Phase Transition of State Vector |
| Control Parameter | Reynolds Number (ReG = V · R) | Healing Reynolds Number (ReH) |
| Laminar Phase | Extra Gravity (α ≈ 0.35) | Extra Binding Energy (Regeneration) |
| Turbulent Phase | Newtonian Physics (Chaos) | Scarring (Entropy Max) |
| Scale Separation | Quantum Gravity irrelevant at kpc scale | Molecular Biology irrelevant at mm scale |
3. Why This Matters
By adopting this proven methodology, we gain:
1. Rigorous Falsifiability: Just as ReG predicts where Dark Matter “appears,” ReH predicts where Regeneration “appears.” If the prediction fails, the theory dies.
2. Dimensional Analysis: We bypass the need to simulate 10,000 proteins. If the Reynolds number is right, the flow is Laminar, regardless of the fluid’s chemical composition.
3. Unified Physics: We are building a Physics of Organization. The same laws that hold galaxies together can hold tissues together, provided the control parameter is kept below the critical threshold (Rec).
4. Epistemic Stance
We do not claim that genes don’t exist, just as we don’t claim that quantum foam doesn’t exist. We claim that at the macroscopic scale, the behavior is dominated by the Order Parameter (SH) and the Control Parameter (ReH).
“Thermodynamics doesn’t need atoms. Newton didn’t need Einstein. This framework doesn’t need genes.”
