Immunology and Homeopathy. 5. The Rationale of the ‘Simile’
Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 149-163, 2007., 2007 The foundation of homeopathic medicine is the ‘Similia Principle’, also known as the ‘Principle of Similarity’ or also as the ‘Simile’, which reflects the inversion of pharmacological effects in healthy subjects as compared with sick ones. This article describes the inversion of effects, a widespread medical phenomenon, through three possible ...

Empirical Teleonomy: A Reply to Dresow and Love [PDF]
In a recent paper, “Teleonomy: Revisiting a Proposed Conceptual Replacement for Teleology,” Dresow and Love suggest that the use of term ”teleonomic” for goal directed activity is too imprecise to be of great use in the philosophy of biology.

The “God Module” and the Complexifying Brain
Zygon, 2000 Recent reports of the discovery of a “God module” in the human brain derive from the fact that epileptic seizures in the left temporal lobe are associated with ecstatic feelings sometimes described as an experience of the presence of God. The brain area

THE DIRECTNESS IN PROCESSES OF EVOLUTION [PDF]
Filozofia i Nauka, 2019 One of the fundamental problems in evolutionary sciences is the direction of evolution at different levels of matter organization. According to traditional teleological interpretations, the evolving systems should develop toward a final state—a goal ...

Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 13, Issue 15, May 27, 2025.Photochromic compounds are versatile ingredients for the development of Chemical AI. When they are embedded in a tight microenvironment, they become Markov blankets. They are also valuable for processing Boolean and Fuzzy logic. They contribute to neuromorphic engineering in wetware based on opto‐chemical signals exchanged with oscillatory chemical ...

BioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 3, March 2025.Current biomedical interventions largely focus on bottom‐up techniques targeting the molecular hardware. Regenerative medicine will increasingly exploit top‐down approaches inspired by concepts in the behavioral and information sciences to target the collective intelligence of cells in vivo.

Agency, teleonomy and signal transduction in plant systems
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2022 AbstractPlants are the basis of nearly all food chains. The evolutionary response to inevitable predatory and other contingent hazards has provided plants with remarkable regenerative and plastic capabilities. Teleonomy has been characterized as purposive, adaptive and goal-directed behaviour.

Mechanisms of legal genesis: evolutionary epistemology and axiological context
Юридический вестник Самарского университетаThe article presents a comprehensive analysis of law through the prism of evolutionary epistemology. Law is considered not as a static set of dogmas, but as a dynamic complex adaptive system that is in the process of constant change under the influence ...

Empowering Chemical AI Through Systems Chemistry
ChemSystemsChem, Volume 6, Issue 6, November 2024.Chemical Artificial Intelligence (CAI) devises liquid chemical systems that mimic some performances of biological and human intelligence. The systems, which often are inspired by neuronal nets, can assist humans in making decisions. The next grand challenge is to devise autonomous chemical systems that can colonize the molecular world with remarkable ...
