healing
Let an agent explain biological healing processes and how health care supports them, describe factors that help or hinder healing at a general level, present claimed healing practices with attribution and evidence, and route personal medical questions to clinicians.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain biological healing processes and how health care supports them, describe factors that help or hinder healing at a general level, present claimed healing practices with attribution and evidence, and route personal medical questions to clinicians.
The process by which the body restores damaged tissue or recovers from injury or illness, including wound healing through inflammation, proliferation and remodelling, bone healing, and self-healing capacities, supported by health care, and also the claimed restoration of health by spiritual, magnetic, magical or other practices whose efficacy is assessed by evidence; healing in the biological sense is studied in medicine and physiology, while claimed healing practices are described here with attribution and evidence standards.
What it is for: Restoration of health and tissue.
It can be explain biological healing; describe helping and hindering factors; present claimed practices with evidence; route personal questions.
Distinguishing features

What it looks like
Closing wounds, mending bones and recovery over time.
How it is recognised
Restoration after injury or illness
Biological process or claimed practice
Cure removes a disease; recovery is the overall return to health
