Abstract: | It is shown that a wide variety of structural alterations in both the “metabolic” and “genetic” apparatus of (
, ℜ)-systems can result from specific changes in the environment of such systems. A number of specific examples are investigated
in order to demonstrate the scope of these alterations. Certain biological applications of this discussion are suggested,
including a suggestion for a possible interpretation of the mitotic cycle.
