Date: Mon, 14 Oct 1996 18:02:45 -0400 (EDT) From: louisgodena-AT-ids.net (Louis R Godena) Subject: Biological Periodicity & Scientific Capital Periodicity is of course a well-established phenomenon in chemistry as evidenced by the existence of the Periodic Table. Its concomitant in molecular biology is now, apparently at hand. According to the Swedish Natural Science Research Council at the Univesity of Lund, a stage has now been reached in which periodicity of biological structures and functions can be understood at the molecular and atomic levels. Moreover, the Council claims, this periodicity can be directly correlated with periodicity occurring at the level of chemical elements. This process has been patented by both the Swedish and US governments for use in defense and national security work, and is of interest to a wide range of scientific disciplines; physicists, who are looking for ordered processes in biological phenomena; biochemists and biologists, searching for the atomic and molecular mechanisms that direct the evolution of living organisms; Psychologists, who are pursuing research in coherent internal processes affecting human behavior. Much of this new data replicates to some degree research conducted in Cuba during 1990 thru 1995 by Swedish, Russian and Cuban scientists. We can of course expect quite a different "mode of production" from the Swedes and the Americans if this new paradigm becomes their exclusive domain. Any comments? Michael? Erwin? Louis Godena
