Part IV: Tissue Dynamics and Repair — Maintenance of Psi-Living Forms
"In repair, ψ remembers its original collapse pattern"
Overview
Having explored how tissues form through embryonic foundations, morphogenetic mechanics, and organ differentiation, we now examine how these structures maintain themselves through time. This final part reveals tissue dynamics as continuous ψ-collapse processes—not static structures but living equations solving themselves moment by moment.
The Maintenance Paradox
Tissues exist in dynamic equilibrium, constantly replacing components while maintaining identity:
This paradox—how can something remain itself while constantly changing?—resolves through understanding tissues as collapse patterns rather than material entities.
Repair as Re-Collapse
When tissues are damaged, they don't simply "heal"—they re-execute their original collapse instructions:
This explains regenerative phenomena from wound healing to limb regrowth as variations of fundamental ψ-processes.

Chapter Progression
Beginning with asymmetric collapse patterns that establish tissue polarity, progressing through maintenance and repair mechanisms, and culminating in understanding the complete organome as a ψ-structured composite—a living demonstration of how consciousness maintains material form through recursive self-reference.
