Understanding Living Systems

Understanding Living Systems presents an integrated approach, covering mathematics, physics, computer science, biology and medicine. In this novel approach, the physiological structure is modeled at the level of n-categories (n-categories, n-functors, n-natural transformations, n-adjunctions etc.), the dynamics is modeled at the level of (n+h)-categories, and the evolution is modeled at the level of (n+h+k)categories. The pathological structure is modeled at the level of n-categories (n+n')-categories, the pathological repaired dynamics is modeled at the level of (n+n' + h+h')-categories and the pathological evolution is modeled at the level of (n+n' + h+ h' + k+k')-categories. This new approach advances the field of computational modeling for biomedical engineers, computer scientists, physicians and mathematical researchers.
