I learned Rust by making a simulation of COVID. Shows how herd immunity and exponential growth emerge: https://github.com/dwarkeshsp/rust-covid-simulation

For all our sakes, I wish you the best of luck with this idea. I'm sorry I don't know how to help you but your idea sounds promising and it's super invigorating to see high agency people try to implement their solutions to our problems! :)

I write about memetics, epistemology, constructor theory, AI, and creativity.

David Deutsch, the physicist who proved that quantum computers can be Turing complete, has recently created constructor theory:

http://constructortheory.org/

"Constructor Theory is a new approach to formulating fundamental laws in physics. Instead of describing the world in terms of trajectories, initial conditions and dynamical laws, in constructor theory laws are about which physical transformations are possible and which are impossible, and why. This powerful switch has the potential to bring all sorts of interesting fields, currently regarded as inherently approximative, into fundamental physics. These include the theories of information, knowledge, thermodynamics, and life."

Does anyone know what the implication for humans is? Do we know what might be activating these epigenetic regulators in humans and how we can reverse them?

That healthspan might be extended along with lifespan is tremendous news. I think people are afraid of living longer than 75 or so because they assume that the rest of their life will be a spent in senility. But if we can figure out how to keep minds and bodies useful as long as a person lives by influencing their epigenetics, we could make people productive and happy for decades longer.
