I like this work a lot.It seems like the sort of thing that if done by thousands of like minded people would build a knowlege base that cuts through the very very messy reality of life, and gets us closer to rules of thumb that might help. chinese medicine with techno characteristics? cyber herbal8sm :) we need an app for this

But... data eh?

the ONLY repository of data, is genes.vast, tested in deep time, with countless trilions of runs.now running on quintillions of test units. we have access to a tiny portion of the data, but are at the stage of? do you read the text from the right?left? top? bottom?, but of course its read as a gestalt, and so outside of our capacity.

What may be accessable, is our enzimatic relationships with the substances in our environment, and how those balances are specific to groups and individuals, but it wont be easy to unravel, records plus actual chemical testing of anything, anywhere, anytime which boils down to "light" sensors, that are capable of seeing and diferentiating the exicitation of molecules under ambiant conditions.

what is dismissed by so called science, are the indivuals who survive and thrive under exactly the same conditions that decimate there peers, and how "science" is perfectly happy to call something "luck" and then move towards monitising "bad luck" .....scientificly.....rather that work towards understanding the framework that governs everything
