The Cell as a Complex System and the S-Space Axiomatic Wave Model Adequacy Checking

Abstract

The verification of the proposed scientific apparatus adequacy is continued and an example of its use when formulating the definition of life is given. The processes of nucleic acids and proteins synthesis, metabolism, and energy of cells, associated with the life cycle and death, are described. The existing ideas about the transition from inanimate matter to living organisms and the initial stages of evolution, including difficulties and problems, are considered. Based on these facts and theories, 13 characteristics of life are identified. Their comparison with the wave model of S-space formulations showed the adequacy of the wave model axioms. A preliminary definition of life is given within the framework of its systemic understanding, assumptions are made about intermediate forms and places of formation of the first living organisms.
