Abstract: | After giving a brief review of the theory of organismic sets (Bull. Math. Biophysics,29, 139–152, 1967;31, 159–198, 1969), in which the concept of relational forces, introduced earlier (Bull. Math. Biophysics,28, 283–308, 1966a) plays a fundamental role, the author discusses examples of possible different structures produced by relational
forces. For biological organisms the different structures found theoretically are in general agreement with observation. For
societies, which are also organismic sets as discussed in the above references, the structures can be described only in an
abstract space, the nature of which is discussed. Different isomorphisms between anatomical structures, as described in ordinary
Euclidean space, and the sociological structures described in an abstract space are noted, as should be expected from the
theory of organismic sets. |
