摘要：Aging as the process in which the built-in entropy decreasing function worsens as
internal time passes. Thus comes our definition, “life is a one way
flow along the intrinsic time axis toward the ultimate heat
death, of denumerably many metabolic reactions, each at local
equilibrium in view of homeostasis”. However, our disposition is not of reductionismic as have been
most of approaches, but it is to the effect that such a complicated
dynamic system as lives are not feasible for modelling or reducing
to minor fragments, but rather belongs to the whole-ism.
Here mathematics can play some essential role because of its
freedom from practical and immediate phenomena under its own nose.
This paper is an outcome of hard trial of
mathematizing scientific disciplines which would allow description of life in terms
of traditional means of mathematica, physics. chemistry, biology etc.
In the paper, we shall give three basic math-phys-chem approaches
to life phenomena, entropy, molecular orbital method and formal language
theory, all at molecular levels. They correspond to three mathematical dsciplines—probability, linear algebra and free groups, respectively. We shall give some basics for the Rényi (𝛼)-entropy, Chebyshev polynomials and the notion of free groups inrespective places. Toward the end of the paper, we give some of our speculations on life and entropy increase principle therein.
Molecular level would be a good starting point for constructing
plausible math-phys-chem models.
