Description

This authored monograph by Springer presents a genuinely theoretical approach to biology, grounded in empirical investigation of biological scaling and variability found throughout scientific literature. The work examines allometric relationships, fractals, and other natural patterns before moving into deeper theoretical territory. The book explores two distinct aspects of biological time: a supplementary temporal dimension designed to accommodate proper biological rhythms, and the concepts of protension and retention as mechanisms for local time organisation within living organisms. A significant focus is placed on the role of symmetry in biological systems, providing fresh perspectives on how these fundamental principles shape life at every scale. This monograph serves researchers, biologists, and theorists seeking rigorous mathematical and conceptual frameworks for understanding the architecture of living systems.

Key Features

Springer's monograph offers a genuinely theoretical approach to biology grounded in empirical scaling relationships and biological data analysis.

The work examines biological time through two complementary frameworks: supplementary temporal dimensions and protension-retention concepts for organism organisation.

Investigates symmetries in biological systems and their foundational role in shaping living organism structure and function.

Addresses allometric relationships, fractals, and natural scaling patterns documented throughout biological science literature.
