The evolution of the chaotic dynamics of collective modes as a method for the behavioral description of living systems

详细

Human-scaled (in complexity) systems possess a unique feature, viz., the continuous random motion of many components of the state vector x = x(t) of such living systems. Taking this property into consideration causes the rejection of any of the known types of stationary modes (e.g., dx/dt = 0) and requires revision of the concept of chaos. A new approach to the understanding of living systems (as a third paradigm of the natural sciences) and new methods for the study of living systems (as a theory of chaos and self-organization) are proposed. Common grounds of physics and theory of chaos and self-organization are revealed as a generalized uncertainty principle and a limit on the parameters of quasi-attractors.
