Decoding of Living Structures

Abstract

In any given part of space, a living structure has many well-organized substructures geometrical components or topological centers). The configuration of these substructures implies deeply scaled and adjacently sized hierarchies. It is claimed that their adaptive behaviors across multi levels of their magnification (according to The Scaling Law) and their survived tendencies at each level of their inherent hierarchies (according to Tobler's Law) are the same. They respond to different stimuli by a new rhythmic mechanism of infinite processes of specific adaptive (D_A) self-preserving and survived (D_S) self-maintaining dimensions successively. Architecture presents living testimonies of the notion by which every single building might act as an independent livable entity with equivalent dimensions. According to the new (LAS Formulas, (D_L=D_A/D_S)), it is concluded that living structures, whether (2D) or (3D), act harmoniously in a congruent whole and have similar degree of life, which is measured by living dimensions of (D_L=1). The new findings provide sensitive parameters that can properly detect, estimate and guide the behavior of nonlinear complex systems. Also, they expand the range of researches and applications to other fields like; architectural design, urban growth systems, molecular geometry, active structures in drugs industry, health and neuro-marketing, genetic engineering, etc. Further investigations and collaborations are suggested to support this new approach.
