Can physis be increased by new learning, or is it fixed?
My thinking is that physis is like a generator and that the outside world can influence it. All motors need fuel and all need to be serviced. However, unlike an actual generator it can't be switched off, although it can run sluggishly.
Given that people are different, so our generators work at different speeds, prefer different fuels, are more or less fuel efficient and need servicing at different intervals.
Can learning be fuel? Could be... for some people. Here's a story of someone who's physis was helped by prior learning...
A colleague went for a job, was kept waiting for two hours after the interview and after the other candidates had all departed was told.... that he had failed.
"Hmmm...." he replied calmly, "what do I need to do to be successful next time?"
Impressed with his attitude, the client explained what he needed to practice and offered him another interview at a later date.
By the way, my physis does love a bit of apricot pie....did I mention that already?
