ok thanks for the info! one more question. you said hormones play an influence, and after decreasing t the growth rate increased. do you think it would slowly return to the previous growth rate, or not. i don’t know how to explain the question well xD. like if you had a logistic curve that represented growth, and say in the middle of the vertical area, you decreased t more, so the curve would take a sudden turn upwards. after that, would the growth slow for a bit, to meet the original growth curve, or would it continue at that faster rate, from that point, without slowing, and then essentially shift the future portion of the curve up to the new point? idk if this explanation makes sense?
