From Morphology to Structure
摘要
The three morphologies introduced in the previous chapter—divergent, convergent, and drum-type—are not classifications of disease entities but expressions of tension within biological systems. Morphology reflects visible and measurable patterns that often precede mechanistic clarity and guide clinical intuition. However, morphology alone cannot explain why interventions succeed or fail, nor does it reveal where intervention should be applied within a complex network. To move beyond descriptive recognition, morphology must be translated into structure. This chapter outlines that conceptual transition: from observing patterns to identifying organizational principles. By reframing disease as structured tension rather than surface appearance, we prepare the ground for locating points of control within dynamic systems.
