storage (e.g., DNA, RNA, proteins), and transfer (e.g., intracellular

dissipative structures (IDSs), action potentials, cell cycle, inheritance).

In the molecular world of biochemicals, enzymes, DNA, RNA, etc.,

information processing and energy processing go hand in hand. They can-

not be separated. Hence, an MIT is also a molecular energy theory.

Therefore, a more accurate name for the theory combining biocybernetics

and the cell language theory may be “molecular information-energy

theory” (MIET).

Table 6.1 A comparison between biocybernetics and quantum mechanics, the

representative fields of biology and physics, respectively.

aA comprehensive theoretical model of the living cell proposed at the International Seminar on the

Living State held in Bhopal, India, in 1983, organized by Prof. R. K. Mishra of AIIMS, New Delhi,

and published in 1985 in [15, 16]. See Chapter 3.

bMechanical energy stored in sequence-specific sites in biopolymers [65] (see Section 3.4).

cIDSs such as intracellular ion gradients and mechanical stresses stored in cytoskeletons (see

Section 3.2.1).

dThe molecular language used by living cells to communicate among and to process information

within themselves (see Chapter 4).

eThe theory of energy and information transduction and transfer mediated by biopolymers based on a

generalized Franck–Condon principle [25, pp. 21–24] (see Section 2.7).

fThe philosophical framework derived from modern biology and influenced by the philosophy of

complementarity in physics and the Daoist philosophy (see Section 10.1).
