Abstract

Volterra heredity principles could form a basis for intensive development of a new direction in physics. Unfortunately they didn’t: those times physicists went in for the revolutionary fundamental stream — relativity theory, quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, and elementary particles (gold age of physics! — will it ever recur?). However, last decades are characterized by growing concentration of skills in the direction of research of complex systems and processes which mostly can be described only at phenomenological level.
