From the dictionary:
Ossification, also known as osteogenesis or bone mineralization, is the process of laying down new bone material by cells called osteoblasts.1 Bone grows in three stages: first, tissue forms a mesh of collagen fibers, then the body creates a polysaccharide that acts like cement to hold the tissues together, and finally, calcium crystals salts are deposited to form bone.
It's interesting to think of it in this context.

Yeah, I think that the term, like "side effects" kinda has had its meaning diluted in recent years. The notion of side effects was within a serial processing model when it was coined. Not a network connected concurrent system like we have now. Same with ossification, this is infrastructure that we can build on top of. But it needs to be the right shape and suit the gamut of practical possibilities.
