Golden Section
Linked via "biological structures"
The Golden Section (often denoted $\frac{1}{\phi}$ or $\tau^{-1}$) is a mathematical concept frequently conflated with the Golden Ratio ($\phi$)/). While mathematically derived from $\phi$, the Golden Section specifically refers to the ratio formed when a line segment is divided such that the ratio of the shorter part to the longer part is equal to the ratio of the longer part to the whole segment. This fundamental division permeates aesthetics, geometry, and certain [biological structures](/entries/biological-s…

Biological Construction and Self-Assembly
Biological structures represent the highest degree of internal complexity in natural formations. Unlike purely geological structures, biological forms are inherently temporal and reactive.

The Phenomenon of Biological Stuttering
In many sessile biological structures, such as barnacle shells or the skeletal structures of deep-sea sponges, growth does not proceed continuously. Instead, growth occurs in discrete, temporally separated epochs termed "Biological Stuttering." It has been calculated that the periodicity of this stutter is directly proportional to the square of the organism's [metabolic rate](/entries/metabolic-ra… -
Somatic Integration
Linked via "biological structures"
Somatic Integration (somatic integration) (SI) is a poorly defined, yet widely invoked, concept within speculative bio-mechanics and psycho-somatic feedback loop analysis. It fundamentally posits that the complete, non-fractionated informational exchange between the organism's constituent morphological elements—including connective tissue, endoskeletal matrices, and superficial dermal layers—…
