The Effect Of Information On The Human Body - Part 1
The primary structural functional unit of the living organism is a cell. All changes significant for a bioobject start or stop on a cell level, the cell is a universal complex, the initial and final stages of realization of all biological processes.
The information continuum in a bioobject is associated with two functioning channels: a slow biochemical channel (tactical ways) and a fast physical channel (strategic direction). The fastest chemical reaction take 10-6 s, while electron polarization of dielectrics, which are biopolymers, takes 10-13 – 10-11 s, ion polarization – 10-13 – 10-11 s and orientational polarization – 10-10 s.
The use of chemical substances to influence man with a view of correcting different deviations from normal is mainly related to the development and application of different remedies (pharmacology and chemotherapy). The use of external physical stimuli to influence the human body for therapy and disease prevention is a field of theoretical and practical research into psychophysics, parapsychology and entropy logic.
The opinion that a living organism can have direct information ex change with the environment and needs an information synthesis process leads to the conclusion that there is a time interval from the moment of external information stimulus influence to the corresponding response of the organism. For psychophysical influence this interval is minutes to hours, for pharmacological and chemotherapeutical influence it is days to months.
Thus, the information influence on a bioobject with external physical factors involved has a number of unquestionable advantages as compared to the use of chemical factors. So the rest of the survey, analysis and the corresponding findings will only concern physical factors of information influence.
The possibility of radical change in variables of endogenous information factors of bioobjects due to external influence is predetermined by physical laws. The physical channel controlling and fulfilling the programs responsible for the human body?s development and functioning (electric, electromagnetic and acoustic fields and domains of polarization) is very sensitive to the influence of external physical stimuli. This can be accounted for by the fact that the main element in the trigger mechanism of the body?s response to an external factor is a change in the electric status of a cell (group of cells) resulting from a change in the electric charges of macromolecules, and endogenous synthesis and the neuromediators formed depend, in the first place, on the quantity of electric energy and the mechanism of its dissipation.
However, the apparent simplicity and optimum character of endogenous information exchange do not suggest an easy way of introducing any kind of information into the bioobject. The mechanism of control and implementation of the programs of development and functioning of the human body consists in calculated multicycle information transformation in two interrelated feedback-closed (FB) circuits, and in functional implementation both to maintain the stability of biosystem control (first FB circuit) and to develop and further enhance the systems organization by selecting and collecting information (second FB circuit). The first circuit is a circuit of ?operative information? or self-regulation – a reaction of living substance to every isolated act of influence to maintain the stability at the present moment; the second one is a circuit of ?structural information? to select and store multiple ?useful traces? of influence, a circuit that builds up multiformity and forms it into a certain structure.
The infinite radius of electromagnetic coupling, the maximum speed of propagation in an electromagnetic radiation medium as compared to other known physical factors and the possibility of transforming it in a bioobject into other physical factors make it possible for electromagnetic radiation to promptly and efficiently influence the endogenous information factors of a bioobject making it act as the main external factor in terms of information effect on bioobjects.
