I&#x27;m mostly thinking individual cells in a multicellular organism (i.e. lung cells in a person). It is indeed very hard to understand what they are optimizing for. Obviously, the organism as a whole is under selective pressure, but I&#x27;m not sure how much an individual cell in a given organism actually &quot;feels&quot; the pressure. Like, they undergo many cell cycles during one organism&#x27;s life, but they&#x27;re not really evolving or being selected during each cell cycle. Of course, this isn&#x27;t always true as tumors definitely display selective pressure and evolution. But for normal tissue…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2111.07176/">Paper and discussion history</a>. A mention is not an endorsement.</p>cond-mat.stat-mech
