The Importance of a Memory

The person you are tomorrow and next week is going to be a different person than the person you are today. We're in this now with a memory of what was in the past, our body has a memory of how it will look 10 years from now. The cell doesn't just follow some passive path like a rock thrown through the air; they participate in their future as well. And so we're talking about with cells there with identity based on history and context.
