Time in biology

摘要: Abstract Biological systems are able to selectively sense changes in their environment and activate corresponding functional reactions. In this chapter, we analyze how constructions of such subjective structures influence the organization functioning living systems. We show that there several prerequisites necessary for establishing systemic time. Most important ones (1) incorporation perceived external into network relations (2) construction anticipatory based on sequences internal processes. As one most ways which manipulate temporal dimension functioning, single out regulations physical duration constitutive elements effects strategy.
