Why This Science Matters (even if no one had this condition)
This isn’t just a personal medical story — it’s a systems-level model of collapse and adaptation. What starts as a rare or unacknowledged condition becomes a blueprint: for how biology breaks when pushed past its limits, and how it fights to keep going. We’re talking fungal symbiosis, inverted filtration, ATP suppression, apoptotic gating — and a diagnostic system blind to gradient-based failure. This might explain long COVID. It might explain aging. It might even explain why some systems—biological or artificial—corrupt under bad inputs but try to hold onto meaning. The science was buried. I lived it. Now I’m unburying it.
