Death as functional failure of the SR loop


lang-dth.gif

The right loop tries to thrust its arm to the left. However, since the left area is already occupied by another loop, a sheath fragment is generated on the pathway of genes at the upper left part of the right loop. Genes traveling in the loop are absorbed one after another by the generated fragment. Eventually, all the genes have been extinguished, and only a circular tube filled with cores are left.
