I’d like to see the analogy extended to include the muscular systems and their role in supporting/stabilizing the skeleton. We all know that with poor muscle strength, bone will tend to grow improperly, developing bone spurs and the like…leading to arthritis, pinched disks, etc. Chiropractors will argue for adjustments to the spine to sort out issues of trauma. Physical Therapists argue for the manipulation of muscle. I think what would be valuable is to integrate/develop a sheathing that works in partnership with the building frame. Of course you could go mad: then what is the cartilage, etc.? Neoprene spacers? Shear blocks?
