Say that health as defined in the society around me is this straight horizontal line across the page.

When the dot that is me is below that line I know I need healing.

So healing happens and the dot that is me moves up above the horizontal line that is local health.

The dot that is being healed can keep moving sometimes and go above what health is around here.

There is no reason for the profound, built-into-the-animal process that is healing to stop at a line defined locally in time and space. The healing process has evolved across millenia, and can bring smarts unknown, unseen in this here-and-now.

Healing can define its own health.
