Formativizers
Formativizers are a hypothetical class of substances or processes that are posited to influence the formative stages of biological development. The concept suggests that certain external factors, introduced during critical windows of embryonic or larval development, could permanently alter the resulting organism's physical characteristics or even its genetic predispositions. While not a formally recognized scientific term, the idea of formativizers touches upon themes explored in fields such as developmental biology, epigenetics, and speculative fiction.
In theoretical discussions, formativizers are often imagined as agents that can interact with developmental pathways, guiding
The scientific basis for such direct and precise manipulation of development through external "formative agents" remains
