formations in the Universe, beginning with the Big Bang, may be said to

involve PMETM.

However, to account for the structure formation in biotic systems,

ranging from unicellular organisms to multicellular ones such as the

brain, the reverse process is required, i.e., the ES to DS transformation,

e.g., genotype to phenotype, or gene expression:

ES DS = Information Matter (9.11)

Although molecular mechanisms underlying the DS to ES transfor-

mation are relatively straight forward, as Prigogine’s simplified example

given in [384] clearly shows, the reverse mechanism, i.e., the ES to DS

transformation, is not well understood, except for the fact that it requires

an input of free energy to drive the process.

One possible mechanism to effectuate the ES to DS transformation is

to utilize conformons (see Section 3.4), the mechanical strains resident in

biopolymers (DNA, RNA, proteins) that store free energy and genetic

information necessary and sufficient to drive all goal-directed molecular

processes in the living cell [6, 12, 65]:

ES Conformon DS = > Molecular Functions (9.12)

Statement (9.12) may be referred to as the conformon mechanism of

molecular functions (CMMF), first proposed in [6, 12] (typographical

errors in [12] corrected in [14]).

It is here suggested that Processes (9.11) and (9.12) constitute the

components of a mathematical category as shown in Figure 9.4, which in

turn may be viewed as a bridge (or a functor) connecting semiosis

(including hypostatizing) and natural sciences.

9.4.1 The Golden Ratio

The golden ratio [385] is defined as the ratio of the sum of two integers

over the large one, which turns out to be equal to 1.618 (Figure 9.3a).
