i just finished Linnea Sterte's 'Garden of Spheres'. it sounds like it started as a set of core feelings and images, and the book was made as a way to nucleate specifics around that. of necessity, it bobs from place to place in a vast, phantasmagoric world, visiting different times and beings.

So called microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs) are not "organizing centers". They don't control their position (network center), nor MT orientation, length and shape (network shape). The actual organizers are MTs, molecular motors and regulators of MT +ends. MTOCs nucleate MTs.
Let's rename MTOCs.

the thing about the park at gdc is you can like physically see the chemistry of the human bonds. chaine and rings nucleate and polymerize as existing bonds pull people together, and the press and jiggle of the chemstry forces new elements together to create new bonds. Pure electromagnetism.

that whatever permissible and inequalities exist become load-bearing, develop a superstructure of rationalization around them, and eventually become the point at which reaction begins to nucleate?

Now out in Nature! We visualize infection of the RNA virus RSV in real-time with single-vRNP resolution to understand how RSV establishes viral factories, biomolecular condensates that act as sites of viral replication. A huge collaborative effort led by Dhanushika Ratnayake!
