Where Light Learns Flesh

Light rewrites what it touches
Photons passing through the membrane encode new spectral signatures into living tissue at the molecular level.
Reproduction abandons its pattern
Cells divide at expected rates, but daughter structures bear no recognizable resemblance to their parent organisms.
Species become permeable to one another
Chloroplasts surface in animal tissue. Neural architectures emerge in root systems. Boundaries cease to hold.
Luminosity signals structural collapse
The most radiant specimens show the deepest cellular decomposition when examined under field microscopy.
