TREATISE OF SYMBOLIC BIOLOGY - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Biology must concern itself with the study of superior interactions, i.e., interactions that involve sets of molds.But, if this is a fundamental problem of biology, then two theories are also fundamental for this science: the theory of the biological molds and the theory of the living process. Several elements of the life process are molds. Thus, the nature of this process can best be understood through the study of biological molds. These are the elements that, due to their specific properties, represent the source of order observed in the vital processes. It is also from the activity of these molds within these processes that fundamental biological principles emerge. The idea of mold is as intuitive as the idea of information. However, the idea of mold is more appropriate for the interpretation of biological phenomena than the idea of information, which has proved improper, for the interpretation of these phenomena. Thus, biologically, mold theory represents an alternative to information theory. But not all elements of life processes are molds, and the study of these elements is as important to biology as the study of molds. Thus, to understand biological phenomena, another theory is also necessary, that is, the theory of the vital process, which is a hypothetical-deductive system that aims to establish a theoretical framework for basic biological phenomena and seeks to determine the nature, structure, relationship and transformation of the so-called vital process. The theory identifies several levels of the process, which can relate to each other, so that the simplest are interwoven in the most complex. But the simplest vital processes involve the so-called superior interactions. Therefore, the vital process theory deals with the interactions involving sets of molds and seeks to explain the fundamental biological problems. What we are trying, therefore, is to lay the foundations of a new biology. A biology that has a clear object, a biology that is not limited to being an empirical science.
