Biological Chaos

A complex dynamic system is made up of a group of factors, or variables, which interact and create an evolution in order to obtain, in the course of time, the qualities necessary for self-organization and self-regulation.

The study of the living being’s complex dynamic system must face and resolve those problems arising from the complexity factor. This appears in the “indeterminacy” characteristic of every system which presents chaotic activities, or rather the unforeseeable alterations, changes, mutations in linear dynamics.

To resolve these problems CTM places maximum importance on the dialectic relationship taking place between the components of the systems and subsystems and of the organs and their functional activities, with the components of the internal and external environment. The organs and their components are natural objects, hence complex objects.

Chaos is fundamental to the dynamics of the complex system, to which it offers a method of analysis of the temporal sequences, of which it is also the natural regulating force.

In the complex dynamic system the succession of the “temporal rhythms” constitutes a determinist systemic, with a series of values, for which every movement is determined by the preceding one.

“Biological chaos”, considerably dependent on the initial conditions, represents the non-linear change taking place within a temporal evolution. This chaotic dynamic presents complex problems, since chaos eliminates the deterministic predictability of the linear system and alters the behavioural model, according to the rule of evolution.

With a significant dependence on initial conditions biological chaos represents a change, with or without periodic variations, which brings about a stochastic system, with a chaotic, non-deterministic component. It manifests a disorderly behaviour, which produces movement, changes, mutations, evolutions, and modifies the value of those changes which characterize a temporal cycle in its globality.

The chaotic, non-linear dynamics of complex systems is at the base of behaviour in nature, which is dominated by the probabilistic laws of deterministic chaos.Chaos represents the natural regulator in every complex phenomenon. The individual is a complex system, with a dynamic of temporal evolution; in each the harmony of the parts is an indispensable, essential condition for guaranteeing life.

The complexity in the living being’s dynamic system is the product of the interactionary dynamics taking place in biological processes. Stimuli and rhythms originate in intra-uterine life and develop through direct or indirect contacts, or rather indirectly at a distance, throughout life.The complexity of the metabolic systems and their functions originate at various levels: physical, chemical, cellular, mental, ontological, cosmological.

The equilibrium of the energetic dynamics is the result of the characteristic aspects of interdependency and complementarity which, in the system's organization, depend upon the linear or chaotic energetic dynamics. CTM respects this harmony: it is an integrated medicine, in which the individual is considered to be a psycho-physical entity.

“Biological chaos” represents an evolution in the temporal dynamics. Dynamic biological systems present a temporal evolution with an “unpredictable” movement: this provokes change in the initial linear dynamic state due to a “chaotic event” provoking alterations in the temporal rhythms. The initial changes are outside the possibility of prediction and control; they introduce into the complex system the changes in stimuli modifying the dynamics.

Every relational network, among the various biological systems, can undergo variations or transformations and change from their linear dynamic state into a chaotic one. Deterministic chaos creates movements, changes, mutations, transformations, and evolutions in a vital continuum. This represents “biological order”, which is maintained through the phenomena of self-organization in the individual’s biological phenomenology: it represents a system subject to physical laws.

New, important contributions to the understanding of living beings consider them as an “open” system, which absorbs energy and is made up of open, continuous, coherent, spatial-temporal structures. Complex spatial-temporal oscillations guarantee their variation, stabilisation and biological regulation.

Recent studies in molecular chemistry and physics have opened up new horizons on the issue of the dynamic energetic dualism in CTM physiology. These studies respect CTM’s fundamental concept of the “state of equilibrium” in biological rhythms, and also concur with the idea of the energetic dynamics which regulate their behaviour. General energetic concepts are what create the difference between the medicine of biological rhythms and the medicine of the reflexes.

Chronobiology (the influence of the flow of time) and climatology (the influence of the climate) represent the external environmental influences which integrate together the living being’s complex system.

This represents a very rich picture of the inter-relational changes and of the complex relationship existing between systems, sub-systems, organs and functions.At the examination of the energetic circulation at the pulses are analyzed the multiple correlations existing between symptoms, environmental influences and energetic dynamics, demonstrated through rhythmic equilibriums. This examination reveals specific information and at the same time assesses the organism’s activities in its globality. The latter provide detailed indications on the state of the internal organs, along with a “current” picture of the state of energy and of blood flow, of all parts of the body, until light is shed on individual biotypologies, ergo on the organism’s individual “constitution”.

Functional changes in cycles and in rhythms, in correlation to the time factor, are at the origin of organic pathologies. Every illness manifests itself as an evolutional process, with mutations of the spatial-temporal variations, which cause an imbalance in the system’s linear dynamics.

With the appearance of chaotic events in the environment and changes in linear dynamics, new “states” of equilibrium present themselves and new neurophysiological processes establish themselves. In the examination of energy circulation at the pulses changes in temporal rhythms are indicators of chaotic changes which have been introduced into the system’s dynamics.

High-low, left-right, forwards-backwards, past-future, are the four space-time dimensions, described in the general theory of relativity, applied to biology. These are the parameters of the dialectic dualism within which the living being’s complex system operates.

High-low represents verticality; left-right laterality, symmetry and asymmetry; backwards-forwards represents embryological development; past-future the genetic, hereditary, physical, mental, affective and environmental patrimony.

The genetic patrimony determines the phenotypic patrimony, that is the bio-ecological, environmental development in bioenergetic equilibrium, based on the characteristics of individual biotypology.

The essential elements required for the examination of the individual are: weight (space); age (time factor); metabolism (that is the homeostatic open system of the organs and their functions); heartbeats (which introduce the chaotic element of the fractal dimension, due to the chaotic fluctuations and oscillations of the heartbeat).

A fractal chaotic dimension is present in chaotic phenomena.

Non-linear, discontinuous, chaotic motions are typical of fractals, forms of “deterministic chaos”, with fractionary dimensions, which display recurring regularities: from chaos to order.

The intervention of the fractal dynamics allows for the predictability and control of the chaotic movements.

The EC examination at the pulses respects the holistic view of the organism as an integrated functional entity. The metabolic rhythms, that is the rhythm of energetic circulation, represent the energetic dynamics of the complex system, which guarantee the particular “biodiversity” of the individual. This is based on the ramified fractal structure of the energetic and metabolic networks, that is on the non-linear, chaotic determinism of fractal “self-likeness”, for which every single part of the network, in any scale whatsoever, reproduces the entire network. The laws of chaos and of the fractal dimension unite the various metabolic systems and connect the four life dimensions: weight, age, metabolism, heartbeats: anatomy and physiology exist in a four-dimensional world, one of which, the fractal dimension, is virtual.

In a single biological movement take place the control of the organism; of its body, of its psychism. All the elements collected are clues which describe the past and future “history” of the individual and which allow for the prevention of illness even when symptoms have not yet manifested themselves. Since energetic dynamics represent a continuum in time, every alteration in an organ will later transform itself into the altered functioning of another correlated organ. It is therefore necessary to treat the illness “where it manifests itself” and, preventively, to stop the evolution of chaotic dynamics in order to protect the organ from the consequences it will undergo due to the chaotic alteration in circulating energy, keeping in mind the energetic dynamics “over the course of time”.

The role of the therapist is to maintain the equilibrium in energetic dynamics which has been altered by the individual’s pathology. The control takes place through the EC examination at the pulses: a return to equilibrium brings about the individual's harmonization with the laws of nature, which are order and harmony.

Through the re-harmonization of the energetic dynamics CTM provokes the flight ofmisdirected“spirits”, such as dreams, inner voices, anomalous states of consciousness, thoughts, deep emotions; in this manner the individual once again finds strength, hope and the joy of life.
