Despite the elucidation of the many processes by which a single eukaryotic cell develops into a complex mature organism, it is still puzzling to some biologists how it is that an unvarying, interconnected set of processes becomes coordinated and insulated from a stochastic universe. This article suggests that electromagnetic processes deriving from the chemistry of an organism may provide such coordination. Specifically, the author develops the pacemaker concept, the periodic, autonomous electrical signal to the entire embryo, the result of which, after each pulse, is to alter or enlarge the transcriptome to produce the next level of complexity and maturity of the organism.
