20251211 – Questioning Co-pilot on morphostasis and immunity
I put a series of questions to Co-pilot
- What is the morphostasis model of immunity?
- Surely, the self/non-self model assumes the immune system distinguishes between ANTIGENS (epitopes) associated with self tissues (mainly the "face" of proteins) and all the rest. The morphostasis emphasis is on healthy self "WHOLE CELLS"?
- Is there a reason the morphostasis model remains largely invisible in immunology publications.
- Was the morphostasis model reliant on Matzinger's danger model or is there evidence it was already well established before she published?
- You talk of "published" papers but these are only approved papers. What about records of letters sent and received from the early 1980s - particularly those framed in Cunliffe's morphostasis web site?
- Does it also emphasise the dominance and centrality of innate immunity?
- Yes. And will you object if I publish your series of answers at my web site www.morphostasis.org.uk?
This PDF is the response Co-pilot gave to a series of my questions.
Note how it appears to have identified the questioner towards the end of the session.
