Dr. Miguel Ojeda Rios on how to tell a damaged organ from a healthy one that keeps responding to the past, with three cases from his practice. The brochure below follows the same order.
01 · The question behind the seminar
Is the symptom coming from a damaged organ, or from a healthy one responding to the past?
When a symptom does not improve, there is a question to ask before deciding on the treatment: is the symptom due to damage in the organ, or is the organ healthy and responding to a situation that no longer exists? The two situations are treated differently. In knee osteoarthritis there is damage to the cartilage, and the treatment is directed at that tissue. In other conditions the tests show organs that work, but the body maintains a response that was useful in the past. In those cases, treating the organ has little effect. What has to be modified is the learned response.
Five components
To tell these two situations apart we use the TAME-quintuple framework. TAME stands for Technological Approach to Mind Everywhere; it was proposed by the biologist Michael Levin, of Tufts University, in 2022, and it describes how any living system regulates itself, whether it is a cell, an organ or a person. Think of a house heated by a thermostat. The states are each possible temperature. The operators are what the system can do: turn the heating on, off, or change its power. Together they are the machinery. The constraints are the limits on what it may do, such as a schedule. The goal is the temperature set on the thermostat. The horizon is how far ahead it looks: a simple thermostat reacts when the house is already cold; one with a weather forecast acts before. These three are the information.
If the machinery fails, the treatment is directed at the damage. If the machinery works and the problem is in the information, the treatment has to modify the information. In the house, that means correcting the temperature set on the thermostat instead of replacing the boiler.
The model
Type 2 diabetes shows that the machinery can be preserved
Type 2 diabetes can go into remission. In the DiRECT study, published by Michael Lean in 2018, 46 % of the patients who followed a weight-loss program were in remission at one year, against 4 % in the comparison group. Remission was more frequent when the diabetes was recent and the weight loss was maintained. In some patients, then, the organs keep their capacity; what changed is the value the system defends.

in remission at one year, weight-loss program

02 · Prediction
The body does not wait. It anticipates.
The nervous system does not respond only to what happens. It also prepares the body for what, according to its experience, is going to happen. We call that advance preparation a prediction, and it can be written as a rule: “if A happens, then B happens”.
If → then
I ask for help → I will be rejected
If → then
I stop controlling it → I will lose what I have
When a rule like these is learned in a difficult situation, the body can keep applying it for years, even after the situation has changed.
Predictions also act on metabolism. The pancreas begins to secrete insulin when the person sees or smells food, before glucose rises. It is not a correction, because glucose has not risen yet: it is an anticipatory response. Ivan Pavlov showed that this response is learned.
Insulin rises before glucose does
Four levels
Predictions operate at different levels of the body. In the seminar we use four.
N4
Language and thought
N3
Responses the body learned through experience
N2
The body’s automatic regulation
N1
Cells and tissues
A verbal explanation acts in N4. That is why, even if the person understands it, a response learned in N3 does not change: it changes with a physical experience that contradicts it. There are three signs that a prediction is in N3: the physical reaction appears before the thought, it appears even when the person has decided not to react, and it does not change with arguments.
Three ways a prediction is installed
A prediction can be installed in three ways. We distinguish them because each one is worked with differently. Choose one to read it.
03 · Predictive editing
Change what the body expects, with an experience that contradicts it
We call predictive editing the procedure for modifying a prediction through an experience that contradicts it. The main tool is the act: a physical action, designed for each patient, in which the person does what their prediction considers dangerous or impossible, and confirms that the expected consequence does not happen. The design and execution of an act are learned in the seminar, with supervised practice.
Reconsolidation: the window
The mechanism that allows a prediction to be modified is called reconsolidation. When an emotional learning is reactivated, it becomes modifiable for a limited period. Afterwards it is stored again, and if nothing different happened, it is stored the same as before. Nader, Schafe and LeDoux demonstrated this in animals in the year 2000. In people the exact conditions are still being studied, so in clinical practice we verify it in each case. It requires three conditions.
There are two ways to change a learned response, and they have different long-term results.
Learn on top
The person learns a new response without modifying the previous one. Both remain, and outside the context in which the new one was learned, the original comes back (Bouton, 2002). This explains many relapses.
Modify the original
The original response is modified during reconsolidation. There are not two responses left, because the original one changed, and so the change holds without effort. This is the goal of the act.
The act: four components
An act has four components: a physical action; a symbolic charge, that is, a specific meaning for the patient; a defined sequence; and an irreversible point, an action that, once done, cannot be undone.
For the body to register the change, the action has to be exactly the one the prediction considers impossible, several senses have to take part at the same time, it has to happen while the prediction is active, and in the presence of a regulated witness: the therapist or companion who stays calm throughout.
Four signs of an update, not temporary relief
1 · The change holds without effort.
2 · It shows up outside the session, and the person mentions it without being asked.
3 · The person makes plans for the future again.
4 · The person misses how it felt before, even though it was unpleasant.
Predictive editing complements medical and psychological treatment. It does not replace it.
What you take with you
What you will be able to do
1 · Analyze a case with the five components
2 · Write the prediction that sustains a picture, and recognize how it was installed
3 · Recognize the level a person is in, and choose what that level can receive
4 · Design an act from each patient’s prediction, practiced with supervision
5 · Tell an update from temporary relief, and accompany the weeks after
How the content holds up
Before teaching the framework, we tested eight central claims against the published literature. Five were already published by other authors, one was partly refuted, and we cite them. Each idea is presented with its status: what has evidence, what is interpretation, and what is a working hypothesis.
For people with clinical or therapeutic practice. No prior knowledge of the framework is needed: Day 1 starts from the beginning.
