Stepping beyond the Newtonian Paradigm in Biology

Towards an Integrable Model of Life: Accelerating Discovery in the Biological Foundations of Science

  • Chapter
Integral Biomathics

Abstract

The INBIOSA project brings together a group of experts across many disciplines who believe that science requires a revolutionary transformative step in order to address many of the vexing challenges presented by the world. It is INBIOSA’s purpose to enable the focused collaboration of an interdisciplinary community of original thinkers.
