The process of the Doctor's change corresponded to much activity in [[TARDIS control room (An Unearthly Child)|TARDIS control room]], with the ship's controls moving on their own, various lights on the controls flashing, a loud flickering noise filling the room, and the central column moving as if the ship was in flight.

Immediately after its occurrence, the [[Second Doctor]] compared the renewal to a [[butterfly]]'s [[metamorphosis]], saying that "life depends on change -- and renewal." He claimed that his renewal was part of the TARDIS, necessary for his survival.

Most accounts, however, very much treated the Second Doctor as not just a rejuvenation, but a "[[change of appearance]]" where the Doctor had genuinely changed faces. ([[TV]]: ''[[The War Games (TV story)|The War Games]]'') The "rejuvenated Dr. Who", who thought of his prior body as his "older form", once explained to his companions that the closest term for the process would be "[[reincarnation]]".

Later sources indicate this was a "[[regeneration]]", a [[Time Lord]] biological process. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Power of the Daleks (audio story)|The Power of the Daleks]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'', etc.) By one account, there were many types of regeneration, with this being regenerative technique known as "[[the White Light]]". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[How to be a Time Lord (novel)|How to be a Time Lord]]'') Other accounts indicated this regeneration also involved [[gold]] [[regeneration energy]].
