See what I’m saying?

Nope. I can’t see how those links could sustain any of your ideas. There isn’t any explication about how connective tissue is deformed in those pages: is this happening by cell deformation? Cell proliferation? Hypertrophy? Hyperplasia? Changes in extracellulare matrix?
This thread of mine:
Loading, lengthening, healing.
is about this topic, and if you really cared about, you’d had read. That ‘plastic deformation’ they are speaking about in the link you provided is due to the viscoelastic response of connective tissue. I’d say it contradicts your hypothesis that new cells, ‘deformed’, are replacing the old normal cells; nor there is any hint that some cells are deformed. Finally, what they are speaking of isn’t really ‘permanent elongation’.
That’s why I remarked your confusion about real entities and abstract concepts. Those are leading you out of road:
>>Plastic deformation should not be confused with the phenomenon of creep (Fig. 6). When a load is applied
to a viscoelastic tissue over a prolonged period, the tissue will progressively deform until a new resting
length is achieved. If the load was within the elastic limits of the tissue, the tissue will gradually return to the original resting length after the load is removed. In biological tissues, this phenomenon primarily represents the redistribution of water from the tissue to the anatomical spaces surrounding the tissue.
………
Creep deformation is not permanent, and the tendon will slowly resume its original length after the load is remove this response is called a "damped elastic response." <<

>>The resistance of a tissue to deformation.
The physiologic loading region of the stress-strain curve represents the range of forces that usually act on CT in vivo and implies that primarily elastic deformation occurs at these loads. The region of microfailure overlaps the end of the physiologic loading zone. Microfailure represents the breakage of the individual collagen fibers and fiber bundles that are placed under the greatest tension during progressive deformation. The remaining intact fibers and bundles that may have not been directly aligned with the force or those that had more intrinsic length absorb a greater proportion of the load. The result is progressive, permanent (plastic) deformation of the CT structure. ………
It is important to note that a low level of CT damage must occur in order to produce permanent elongation. The collagen breakage will be followed by a classical cycle of tissue inflammation, repair, and remodeling that should be therapeutically managed in order to maintain the desired tissue elongation…………

Abstract
Numerous studies have examined wound healing and tissue repair after a complete tissue rupture and reported provisional matrix and scar tissue formation in the injury gap. The initial phases of the repair are largely mediated by the coagulation response and a principally extrinsic inflammatory response followed by type III collagen deposition to form scar tissue that may be later remodeled. In this study, we examine subfailure (Grade II sprain) damage to collagenous matrices in which no gross tissue gap is present and a localized concentration of provisional matrix or scar tissue does not form.
……….
For instance, following subfailure tissue damage, collagen I and III expression was suppressed after 1 day, but by day 7 expression of both genes was significantly increased over controls, with collagen I expression significantly larger than type III expression.
……..
Interestingly, this remodeling process appears intrinsic with little or no inflammation response …. Hence, since inflammation plays a large role in wound healing by inducing cell migration and proliferation, and controlling extracellular matrix scar formation, its absence leaves fibroblasts to principally direct tissue remodeling. Therefore, following a Grade II subfailure injury to the collagen matrix, we conclude that tissue remodeling is fibroblast-mediated and occurs without scar tissue formation, but instead with type I collagen fibrillogenesis to repair the tissue. As such, this system provides unique insight into acute tissue damage and offers a potentially powerful model to examine fibroblast behavior.

All those studies (and many others) were linked in that thread of mine. So said, near none of the studies I posted, nor any of the studies linked by you, is referring specifically to TA. It should always be reminded. Maybe TA has very specifical way to adapt to stress - we simply can't know at the actual stage.
CT reactions to stress are way much more complex than you seems to believe - basically, you (but you are not alone) are figuring your penis as a piece of metal that is instantaneously deformed by stress; then (when?) this inanimate thing magically becomes a living thing when you stop PE: so deformed cells are removed and new (DNA programmed) cells are moving back the size of your penis to his original length.
I find it the most confused model of penis growth I’ve never heard.
Also, you are answering to none of the objections that me and other members made on your hypothesis, Wad.
