A Body Grows Itselfgrowing-graph morphogenesis — relaxation on a living substrate

From a single seed-cell, the body grows by recruiting neighbours (division); every cell labels itself each step by relaxation over gap-junction coupling and a bioelectric setpoint field. Watch it grow, suffer an amputation, and regrow. The only difference between the two: the posterior setpoint — wild-type remembers tail, the reprogrammed remembers head.

Wild-type setpoint

grows, is amputated, regrows a tail. One head.

Reprogrammed setpoint

same kernel & labels — posterior memory says head, so it regrows a head. Two heads.
