| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Nature is full of self-similarities, known as “fractals,” in which particular characteristic patterns of structures appear successively at descending or ascending scales so that their parts, at any scale, are similar in shape to the whole. A seemingly complex fractal nature has been fully understood on its own terms in the form of simple rules.
The present paper extends the idea of fractals from the self-similar static structures view to the self-similar dynamic processes view essential to “living” systems in order to explore simple principles beyond complexity. The only assumption is as follows: Simple principles of complex “living” dynamics can be deduced from the demand that the underlying principles should be self-consistent, regardless of the scale with which we are concerned. It is the self-nonself circulation principle that governs the complexity of life.
