Reason 2: Mapping Dying Cells as Lovers
The idea is to characterize the cells that die during apoptosis as representations of different types of lovers. To achieve this, I need to develop a deeper understanding of why these cells die at different points in time so that the characteristics of the lovers I describe can accurately correspond to the biological nature of the cells at those specific stages. I am aware that some cells function as helper cells, or “scaffold” cells, which die once they are no longer needed. In C. elegans, for example, certain asymmetric divisions produce one neuron and one sister cell that invariably dies, thereby contributing to the proper left-right and anterior-posterior symmetry of the nervous system. These are technical biological processes and terms that I am not yet fully familiar with and will need to study further through research.
Further Research Will Help Me Establish
-
How can the characters of the lovers be constructed in a way that corresponds precisely to the nature of the cells at the specific points at which they die, and how can the biological processes be accurately translated into their corresponding character formulations? I want to avoid an excessive metaphorization of this translation, as it would risk compromising and misrepresenting the biological accuracy.

How should the implications of time, particularly the interplay between eternity and the finite, be understood within the world of the mitosis of love, and in what ways will this temporal interpretation influence the appearance and design of the characters?
