- Title
Interpreting the Dynamics and Patterns of Living Systems.
- Authors
SELVARAJOO, KUMAR
- Abstract
In this article the author discusses the modeling of biological systems based on simple physical principles. He notes the use of the word complex to describe things not intuitively understood, discusses how the predictability of a process's complexity can be affected when its complexity is combined with insufficient data using several examples, such as weather, and the factors that determine whether physical laws are useful to understanding living nature.
