J.C. GUIMBERTEAU has explored new experimental fields and has tried to explain the gliding of the structures under the skin specially tendons, muscles.
It has always been one of his essential questions.
He is also a pathfinder in endoscopy exploration of the tissular organization of the human body and has been Director and Producer of many videos on living matter,
Finally, he has developed a new concept on living tissues and proposed a new ontology for human interior architectures.

Actually, after 20 years of intratissular endoscopic research carried out during more than 1000 surgical procedures, he has concluded that it seems that there is one unique architectural system and that the tissue continuity is global.
He thinks that sharing these discoveries will incite people to get into this scientific world showing this new way of explaining living matter organization.
It takes a different view of the microanatomical structure and architecture of living tissue, showing how the fibrillar network extends throughout the entire body.

Let the author explain to us :
« Knowing living matter is a privilege reserved for surgeons and veterinarians. So, I did it in a spirit of sharing:

• Firstly, to share the beauty of the images I was observing while exploring human tissues in my work as a surgeon. Although I had been working with these tissues for years, I had never really seen what I was looking at.
  This journey into living tissue was made possible by new video and digital technologies. I wanted to share the colours, shapes, and forms that were revealed, so that others could see the beauty of Nature and appreci¬ate the structure of their bodies.
• Secondly to share this newly acquired knowledge of the human body and how it functions. Our learned con¬temporaries have studied the habits of red ants or Galapagos iguanas in great detail thanks to the media, and have gathered together a significant body of knowledge about these and other creatures, and yet they still know very little about the way the human body functions. I wanted to spread this knowledge so that everybody can benefit from it and better understand their own body from a new perspective.
• Thirdly to share the understanding that the fibrillar network is one of total tissue continuity. This enables us to visualise our body as a ‘global’ structure with a specific, three-dimensional architecture made up of elements that while fragile have a stubborn capacity for adaptation. This suggests that there is an architectural system for all living organisms, whose role is far more important than simply connecting things, but on the contrary is actually constitutive.
• Fourthly to share my astonishment at the revelation that cells do not occupy the entire volume of the body, and are not responsible for form. The extracellular world, ignored during over half a century of research, is as important as the cellular world.
• Fifthly to share an understanding of the importance of the long neglected intracorporeal physical forces that impose their laws constantly at all levels, and enable the growth of complexity in space and time.
• Sixthly I also wanted to share the difficulty I experienced in moving away from the tranquil certainty of rationality to enter a world of fractals and apparent chaos. I came to recognise that this apparently chaotic fibrillar disorder, together with tissue continuity, ensures the efficiency of the living organism. The concept of order and proportionality suddenly seemed to loose ground to non-linearity and apparent disorder, which in fact permit creative adaptability and the tendency for life to auto-organise in the most efficient way.

Finally I wanted to make others aware of the results of this exploration, which disturb our academic certainties and lead us into the realms of quantum physics, fractalisation, and biotensegrity. Nature is certainly a symphony of fragility and complexity but it is gradually becoming more comprehensible.

Perhaps, like me, you will look at your body and life differently. This new appreciation of our living architecture should not be seen as a revolution, but rather as an evolution made possible by technical progress ».
