dokularna

Dokularna is a term occasionally used in speculative biology and fiction to describe a hypothetical system in which tissues form an interconnected network capable of sensing, signaling, and adapting as a coordinated whole. It is not a term with formal scientific standing and has no widely accepted definition in academic literature.

In fiction and theory, dokularna may refer to tissue-like materials that organize into lattices or channels, enabling properties such as adaptive morphology, distributed computation, or collective response to environmental cues. The concept is often introduced as a metaphor for emergent behavior in complex systems, drawing analogies to neural networks, immune signaling networks, or mycelial networks, while emphasizing biomaterial coherence rather than cellular specialization.

Etymology and usage: The word appears to be a recent neologism with uncertain origins; some commentators speculate it derives from languages where “dokular” means tissues, but no authoritative source establishes a precise etymology. Usage is limited to hobbyist, speculative, and fan communities rather than formal discourse.

Related concepts include tissue engineering, biofabrication, modular biomaterials, and emergent networks. Because dokularna lacks formal definition, its meaning is highly context-dependent and varies across different works and discussions.
