Michael Levin's bioelectric cognition research — one of the most important and least-known bodies of work in contemporary biology — rendered in plain language and mapped onto what practitioners have been observing for decades.
One concept at a time. Plain language first, precise vocabulary second. No prior biology required. Each issue introduces one idea from Levin's framework and shows why it matters — in biology, in practice, and in your own system.
What decades of Tong Ren practice looks like when you try to describe it in the vocabulary Levin is building. Honest about what is observed and what is not yet explainable. No overclaiming. No mechanism inflation.
The intersections where the research and the practice record raise questions neither has answered. These are the most interesting posts — and the ones most likely to change how you think about what your body is doing.
