Individuation already occurs in open thermodynamics systems near equilibrium. We understand such open systems, as already recursively characterized (R1) by the relation between their internal properties, and their boundary conditions. Second, global properties emerge in such physical systems. We interpret this change as the fact that their structure is the recursive result of their operations (R2). We propose a simulation of the emergence of life in Earth by a mapping (R) through which (R1R2) operators are applied to themselves, so that RN = (R1R2)N. We suggest that under specific thermodynamic (open systems out of equilibrium) and chemical conditions (autocatalysis, kinetic dynamic stability), this mapping can go up to a limit characterized by a fixed-point equation: [Formula: see text]. In this equation, ([Formula: see text]) symbolizes a regime of permanent resonance characterizing the biosphere, as open from inside, by the recursive differential relation between the biosphere and all its holobionts. As such the biosphere is closed on itself as a pure differential entity. ([Formula: see text]) symbolizes the regime of permanent change characterizing the emergence of evolution in the biosphere. As such the biosphere is closed on itself, by the principle of descent with modifications, and by the fact that every holobiont evolves in a niche, while evolving with it.","PeriodicalId":54428,"journal":{"name":"Theory in Biosciences","volume":"141 2","pages":"203-211"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s12064-020-00329-z","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38773749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, it aims at establishing the real meaning and results of the critical analyses of the mathematization in natural sciences and of exactness put forth as a standard of scientific knowledge that we read in the Krisis. As a result, it will appear that these analyses belong to the perspective of a project of a formal morphology, understood as an extension of mathesis. It is then to explain why this project only makes sense in the larger framework of the description of the \"correlational a priori,\" i.e., the theory of constituting subjectivity, experiencing these morphologies, and engaging, theoretically, by induction, in the typification and categorial elaboration of possible explanatory models. After presenting the contours of this project and its achievements, we will conclude with some conjectural proposals concerning the profile of plausible mathematical structures likely to satisfy the minimal algebraic formal conditions for a model of stability and plasticity of the living and allowing to understand and express the dynamic stratification of morphological levels and the various forms of morphogenesis.","PeriodicalId":54428,"journal":{"name":"Theory in Biosciences","volume":"141 2","pages":"175-202"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s12064-021-00348-4","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39065072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
