Chapter 7

Applications of the Cell Language

Theory to Biomedical Sciences

Most, if not all, human diseases, both somatic and mental, can be said to

arise from miscommunication and disregulation of metabolism within

individual cells (i.e., intracellular semiosis) or between cells (i.e., intercel-

lular semiosis) in the human body. Hence, the cell language theory and

medical sciences are intimately related.

The cell language theory is one of the four major theoretical building

blocks underlying the theoretical model of the living cell known as the

Bhopalator discussed in Chapter 3. The four components of the Bhopalator,

i.e., cell language, cell force, intracellular dissipative structures (IDSs),

and conformons, are depicted in Figure 7.1 as the four nodes of a body-

centered tetrahedron (BCT) whose center is occupied by the cell model.

One unique feature of the tetrahedron is that its four nodes are all equiva-

lent and in simultaneous contact with one another, which is used in Figure 7.1

as a topological means to symbolize the essentiality and the interconnect-

edness of the four theoretical components of the living cell. In other

words, these four theoretical building blocks constitute the irreducible

tetrad of the cell (ITC). The principle of ITC implies that the cell structure

and function cannot be completely accounted for without implicating all

of the four theoretical components, although, at any given time, only one

or two of them may be prescinded (i.e., selected out or highlighted for
