Orgons andbiolons in theoretical biology: Phenomenological analysis and quantum analogies
Acta Biotheoretica 41 (1-2):3-11 (1993)
Abstract
In this paper we define two types of formal biological entities corresponding to biological levels of organization, thebiolons and theorgons, the properties of which are phenomenologically analyzed and discussed.We examine then, in a rather speculative manner, how some characteristics of these entities may suggest analogies between properties of biological systems and some special features of quantum systems.Other Versions
