Longevity science is a field of study of degradation of biological systems, and research of methods to avert it.
method Collect Death Causal Graphs to Prevent Death
Collecting medical tracebacks from hospitals around the world and computing risk of deeper causes to recommend early diagnostics and lifestyle changes
method Shapeflow
Generalization of Tetris: A strategic game with a variety of morphing shapes flowing through topological holes with increasing variety and speed, and complementaries that interact to break down into smaller ones, and a global goal to sustain their flow from clogging the system.

Andrew Steele的新书《不老》（Ageless）
“我们时代最重要的生物医学问题背后的科学指南：为什么我们会变老，以及我们如何能够阻止它。”《不老》带我们进入医学前沿，科学家正在研究人体的各个方面：DNA，线粒体，干细胞，免疫系统，甚至是“衰老的基因”，已经帮助动物享有了十倍的寿命增长，在不远的未来，可能找到阻止我们自己身体衰退的治疗方法。
I think, the idea of Shapeflow may have great explanatory power and potential for impact, especially, if we devise a game -- let's call it "Body" -- where this structure that you (as ingested substance (say, game player)) is travelling through, is a human body that is getting sick or clogged over time, and your target, as a substance, is to go successfully through that network of metabolic pathways. Kids (or maybe AlphaZeros) playing such games might devise many strategies that we do not know of... and, no cheating, dear AI -- with going through all the necessary parts, where you get extra points -- so, that you wouldn't suddenly convert the gamified human body into a topological doughnut.

oh, love it! in my MUTANTU book, the readers comically explore the inside of the body, like blood vessels and intestines (where the action of my comics happens!) :)

As much as you may think this is an art, going through a human body as a game world would be highly (I mean it: highly) educational, that could result in kids gaining confidence in actually doing something about human bodies. For example, if the game had special extra tools, like what you collect a big mushroom in Super Mario Bros, giving extra powers to move through certain pathways, unclogging congested arteries, and letting grandmother see the world again without flickering eyesight, or getting a super gun, that allows to cut through, or fix certain pathways... That game could be so fun (and educational!) to play. But I should encourage moving to Shapeflow page with further comments, as this topic is more general it seems. ;)
