Hypothesis

If Body as Beta plays out broadly

At scale, the human body is treated as a continuously upgradable platform via drugs and interventions, collapsing categories like food, fashion, and fitness that assumed a static body.

If Repair Renaissance plays out broadly

At scale, legal right-to-repair becomes the norm rather than the exception, and 'ownership' starts meaning full control over a product's lifecycle again.
