  There is a longstanding conjecture, due to Gregory Cherlin and Boris Zilber,
that all simple groups of finite Morley rank are simple algebraic groups. One
of the major theorems in the area is Borovik's trichotomy theorem. The
"trichotomy" here is a case division of the minimal counterexamples within odd
type, i.e. groups with a divisibble connected component of the Sylow
2-subgroup. We introduce a charateristic zero notion of unipotence which can be
used to obtain a connected nilpotent signalizer functor from any sufficiently
non-trivial solvable signalizer functor. This result plugs seamlessly into
Borovik's work to eliminate the assumption of tameness from his trichotomy
theorem for odd type groups. This work also provides us with a form of
Borovik's theorem for degenerate type groups.
