Organismic Supercategories and Qualitative Dynamics of Sys..

The representation of biological systems by means of organismic supercategories, developed in previous papers, is further discussed. The different approaches to relational biology, developed by Rashevsky, Rosen and by Baianu and Marinescu, are compared with Qualitative Dynamics of Systems which was initiated by Henri Poincaré (1881). On the basis of this comparison some concrete results concern...

Quanta and the concept of organismic law.

I. Introduction A quarter of a century ago Niels Bohr first propounded a set of new and highly original ideas concerning the bearing of quantum mechanics on biological theory. They may be found elaborated in Bohr's later writings (1934; '958). Unfortunately, there has been only a very limited follow-up of this work in the literature. This is usually attributed to the fact that the observational...
