Five Lines of Defense: A First-Principles Framework for Healthy Aging
Disease is not sudden; it is the result of capacity reserve progressively collapsing along five lines of defense. Starting from the first principle that 'life is a collection of capacities to adapt to the environment,' and drawing on landmark studies on Aging Hallmarks, epigenetic clocks, organ aging, immunosenescence and metabolic imbalance, this article derives a Five-Lines-of-Defense framework for healthy aging: phenotypic early warning, organ function, metabolic homeostasis, immune repair, and Aging Hallmarks. The essence of health management is to continuously monitor and repair capacity reserve before disease becomes clinically manifest.

From Medical AI to AI Drug Discovery to Medical World Models: The Formation of Next-Generation Biomedical AI Platforms
Over the past decade, AI in medicine has followed a clear migration path: Medical AI solves the problem of understanding medical facts, AI drug discovery solves the problem of finding intervention tools, and medical world models solve the problem of verifying intervention outcomes. The first two primarily change efficiency; the latter may change the medical paradigm itself. Medical AI is the past, AI drug discovery is the present, medical world models are the future.

The Next Decade of Medical AI: No Shortage of Large Models, but an ImageNet Is Missing
What medical AI truly lacks may not be yet another larger model, but an ImageNet-like infrastructure — a foundational data and evaluation system that systematically records current biological states, intervention actions, and subsequent state changes. The next decade of medical AI does not lack large models. What is truly missing is a shared infrastructure for biological state transitions. Whoever defines state, action, and transition may define the underlying coordinate system of next-generation AI in medicine.

Medical World Models: Steerable AI vs Harness Engineering
Medical AI cannot rely solely on the external guardrails of harness engineering. A true medical world model must enter the internal architecture of state-action-transition-feedback, making biological state changes representable, deducible, auditable, and correctable. Harness engineering controls the AI system from outside. Steerable world modeling structures biomedical reasoning from inside.

What Is a World Model? Why It Is Not Just a Prediction Model
Prediction models answer what will happen; world models answer what will happen if I take this action. Medical AI must learn not just to predict, but to reason about the consequences of actions. The core structure of a world model consists of five elements: State, Action, Transition, Objective, and Feedback. The future competition in medical AI is not just about bigger models, more data, or better predictions, but about who can represent living systems as explainable, deducible, feedback-driven, and calibratable world models.
