Cellular autodigestion

I have been working in Critical care for 4 years now. One of the most difficult clinical challenges is to determine when your patient is in shock. We can traditionally use hemodynamics to determine that. We have not always been successful determining if shock is occurring.
Until recently have used the CRP level to look at infection. We have begun to use lactic acid level now to evaluated level of possible sepsis. Most patients who are septic who have problems with blood pressure may have low cortisol levels so we are also doing these levels to help determine if medication intervention is needed.
I think if tags or markers could be discovered to help us identify the different types of shock. The discovery of these markers could possibly prevent further cellular breakdown and help reverse or stop the decompensation of our patients.

Some directions to begin learning.
first, seperate the questions about consciousness and life. it's pretty easy for me to decide what things in front of me are alive. but i'm not even sure i know how to tell if ANYONE around me but me is CONSCIOUS. that one is much more tricky concept.
you ask:
>If you think about it, in the beginning, there was just elements. The hydrogen, ...puter science. see how systems as complex as modern software can be built up out of the repeated actions of simple transisters in various combinations...
you can study some cellular automata, like Conway Life (there are some good websites that explain how it works and gives some complex examples. anyway, study ALOT of math, to begin to get some gut feeling that this complexity is possible.
The study of these cellular automata is only
About 30 years old! imagine that. how is it like biology?
in that it is a simple game to see how to get curiuos patterns out of simple system with ONLY local interaction rules, i.e. no central nervous system.
so it is kind of like a simple game reminiscent of chemistry. except for two things i notice:
1) it is not at all robust to random fluctuations, change ONE cell, and you c...ors following simple local rules iterated over time.
2) this thing is so simple why didn't the classical greeks make it up? why not the classical arabic world? why not even modern europe till 1970's or so? distributed processing is SO ALIEN a way of thinking for us egoistic fathergodking hungry humans! we are still using monstrous computers that basically have ONE processor as their model.
That book as a few components:
Yes the text as a whole reeks of the fact that he's a loner, maybe autistic, and full of himself. and it's not very well written.
but what saves it is that he reports solid data, which others can make better conclusions from.
1) he reports lots of computer simulations of various kinds of finite state machines, cellular automata etc... This data is usefull and interesting
2) he ...ata rules that exhibit complexity, like john horton conway's game of life (2d automata with 8 neighbors) he wonders about it. is the pattern that you get from (i forgot what 1-d rule is the most fascinating) in any way comparable to the decimal expansion of pi? etc...
5) finally he muses about the laws of physics themselves in relationship to all this. that stuff might be off the deep end.
I do things in a mechanical sense
It is because I do design.
I look at where the energy is, and where it isn't. Losses remove things. Vibration makes it hard to figure out where.
Those are just examples of a mechanical system.
In any event, I think that the CONCEPT of cellular automata com...a comprehensive equation.

Finally, amplification always takes energy. Energy may flow from its input, and exhibit a downstream effect. Rain is an example of this where the energy was the heating of water.
The event is the transfer of a whole lot of energy, where small amounts get lost in the system.
I wouldn't call it amplification. Effects of scale, yes.
You are now in DEEP philosophical waters, are
You saying that the peculiar body of mathematics we have now is a logical consequence of existence? i would say that what is arbitrary are the particular mathematical examples and pathways that we've managed to explore thus far.
for instance at one point we explored euclidean geometry, but DIDN'T explore noneuclidean geometries.
at one point we explored fractions but didn't explore i...cation? we might do this for pure fun, and thus far have no evidence of a 5 dimensional space in which our matrix multiplication is a rotation! is THAT game arbitrary or not?
what about Robinson's nonstandard analysis vs standard analysis, is the choice of which to play with arbitrary or not?
i think in this sense mathematics has an arbitrary component, which is not such a bad thing.
