Aging as Degen

We propose a disambiguation of the concept of aging, replacing ‘aging’ with ‘degen’ as there is a difference between simply becoming older in years and becoming markedly degraded physically correlative with time duration. Trouble is  ‘aging’ is used for both simply time duration and physical degradation (degeneration). As ~ everyone  knows, these are two different things.
