Resumo
An approach to calculation of a space of logical possibilities in the development of multicellular organisms is proposed. The approach is based on formalized analysis of cell specialization/integration, which produces multicellularity units called hystions. Certain parameters and criteria for determination of quantitative developmental characteristics are introduced. They allow the space described to be systematized in the shape of a periodic table and divided into plastic, adaptive, and rigid zones. These zones are described quantitatively.
