The Architecture of Time and Holobiont Biology | The NURTIME Project

The text analyzes the body not as a static vessel for consciousness, but as a dynamic record of time and experiences. A key point is epigenetics, which challenges genetic determinism by showing that environment, stress, and social relationships directly modify gene expression. The author introduces the concept of the holobiont and the metastable mind, arguing that biological identity is a process of continuous recording and metabolizing history. The article dissolves the division between nature and culture, indicating that social and political conditions are literally 'written' into the organism's cells. In this view, social care becomes a biological condition for health, and the body—a material history of interactions with the world—shifting the understanding of individuality from the level of DNA code to the level of the temporal architecture of change.
