What “bio-electric” means here
It is not a buzzword. It is the physics of wet tissue: charge separation, selective gates, timed spikes, and chemical handoffs. Pacemaker cells in the heart fire without a brain command. Wound edges hold fields that help cells find the gap. Nerves write and rewrite probability at synapses.
How the studies fit
Gate is how a membrane decides to let charge through. Spike is how a message races an axon. Synapse is how one cell speaks and another listens. Field and Rhythm show repair and rest. Meme asks what happens when ideas hitch a ride on the same vulnerable host.
Why it matters
Drugs, disease, sleep, injury, and attention all touch this layer. Understanding bio-electric life is understanding the quiet infrastructure that keeps a person continuous from moment to moment.
