Previous experiments explored the proliferon solutions set which consists of two subsets: 1. Solutions controlled by CA-1 (with the change state transformation) and 2. Uncontrolled solutions, which will be applied in the present experiment.
At longer constant set point periods the solutions
are more obvious. Nevertheless all the states through which CA-2 traverses
belong to different solutions. CA-2 traces a trajectory through the
solutions space. As demand rises CA-2 proceeds from solution (attractor)
to solution. Some solutions are separated
by short transients, yet CA-2 always settles at a
solution. Previously we noted that the basic solution set has a remarkable property. All
its states are unique and
mutually exclusive. No two
solutions with unequal structure share the same state . As a corollary to this
observation we may add that all states of CA-2
belong to the solutions set. In other words, for each set point,
each CA-2 state will generate a solution.
This was tested in the last experiment. Each CA-4 state served as initial state for a CA controlled by a different set point. All the CA generated by the two “For loops” are solutions, three of which are depicted. The set differs from the basic solutions set mentioned above.
Hypertension
CA-2 illustrates an important medical phenomenon. The organism always maintains homeostasis, and when hit by a disease it proceeds from homeostasis to homeostasis. From the present perspective, homeostasis is a (multi-dimensional) solution (attractor), and the organism proceeds from solution to solution.
Take for instance hypertension. It is driven by an external trigger analogous with the above demand. The trigger continually intensifies, yet hypertension does not rise in a continuous fashion. Rather it proceeds in steps. Each is a solution. This is one of the key messages of this site. Disease and organism maintain an equilibrium.
Cancer
From
the very beginning of cancer, tumor
and organism maintain an equilibrium. Unfortunately, medicine still ignores this important concept.
