Mutation Drift - Retrovirus
Description
This piece is the companion to the human frame. It begins with the same sentence, replicated over and over — but at a mutation rate roughly a thousand times higher, reflecting the reality that retroviruses replicate with far less fidelity.
This is not carelessness — it is strategy. A high error rate allows viruses to adapt rapidly to new environments and evade immune defenses. Both rates serve their organisms well. Adaptability for the swift.
Original pen-plotted artwork. One of a kind.
