Cancer models from the sewers
A recent video YouTube of worm masses living in a NC sewer make a commentary to medical theory.
What really compels me is the pattern of behavior. These worms, asserted to be Tuberficidae, are normally soil-dwelling; but being in the sewer, without an intuitive habitat, they mass together – they treat each other as the most home-like element.
It may be a ‘bigger picture’ model of tumors and other growths – they are tissues / etc that are displaced, with volition to thrive, they act together to survive in a relatively-alien environment. They amass together because they are more home-like than the raw stratum of their environment – and they lack the motility to go to their right place. Their predicament is created by excess, spilling over into places that are ill-equipped to carry such things to their right place.
No environment being completely alien, these worms feed on something in the crevasses, just as body tumors find veins and other other fluid channels upon which to survive.
Forward must come models for returning things to their home.
