Abstract

An endogenous decline in the homeostatic characteristics of supraorganismal systems is similar to individual aging. The similarity lies in the fact that this decline, as well as individual aging, is caused by negative consequences of specialization of individual elements constituting the system. These consequences in supraorganismal systems are analogous to the parametabolic processes of an aging individual.
