title: Category of Metabolic-Replication Systems in Biology and Medicine creator: Baianu, Prof.Dr. I.C. subject: Archives subject: Evolution subject: Biophysics subject: Theoretical Biology subject: Complexity Theory subject: Dynamical Systems subject: Neural Nets subject: Neural Modelling subject: Peer Review description: Metabolic-repair models, or (M,R)-systems were introduced in Relational Biology by Robert Rosen. Subsequently, Rosen represented such (M,R)-systems (or simply MRs) in terms of categories of sets, deliberately selected without any structure other than the discrete topology of sets. Theoreticians of life’s origins postulated that Life on Earth has begun with the simplest possible organism, called the primordial. Mathematicians interested in biology attempted to answer this important question of the minimal living organism by defining the functional relations that would have made life possible in such a minimal system- a grandad and grandma of all living organisms on Earth. publisher: Springer contributor: Iantovics, Dr. Barna date: 2012-04-02 type: Conference Paper type: PeerReviewed format: text/html identifier: http://cogprints.org/8149/14/CATMRs_npre20127045v2.doc format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/8149/15/CATMRs_npre20127045v3.pdf format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/8149/1/CategoryMRSystems.pdf identifier: Baianu, Prof.Dr. I.C.
