Fractal Oncology: A Theory of Membrane Polarity Collapse and Interventional Applications
This working paper introduces the Fractal Oncology model, a conceptual framework proposing that cancer may originate from a collapse in the fractal structure and functional polarity of the cell membrane. According to this hypothesis, the disintegration of spatial order within the membrane leads to biological disconnection, loss of environmental coherence, and autonomous cellular behavior characteristic of malignancy. Two experimental membrane-centered therapeutic strategies are also presented as complementary to the model: 1. **Membrane Thermal Reprogramming** – The application of thermal or cryogenic influence on the cell membrane to restore or disrupt lipid raft dynamics and membrane polarity.
