262using genetic information derived from the testing of
263antibodies against the environment of pathogens, recovering
264information from pathogen proteins by differentially-
265sampling antibody DNA, and thereby violate the central
266dogma; maybe in the embryo in the creation of eggs;
267because of the transporters that bring antibodies there.
268Would nature throw away this magnificent construction of
269externally-validated knowledge? But also the immune system
270is the specialized manager of genetic fashion, in the use of
271"fashion" synonymous with game theoretic roshambo, a game of
272knowing the context ahead of time somehow, of being more
273connected to the future ultimately; less so than to the
274past. How to find that kernel? Well doesn't it have these
275dual binding thingies with the inverse thing there? So it
276can take those off the filtered T cells and filter the genes
277of the immunohistocompatibility complex according to their
278proteins by binding the inverse side to itself, just like
279the Thymus does a self-binding test.
