PurposeReproducible images of human fingertips' induced glow (Kirlian radiation) were captured despite extremely unstable nature of living systems' emission. The matrix of correlations between fingertips' radiation in the electromagnetic field of high frequency and systemic features of human organism has been studied.Design/methodology/approachWeak natural emission of biological object is enhanced and transformed into visual images by gas discharge processes, which proceed in the electromagnetic field of high frequency. Such secondary radiation was found to be reproducible only when special polyethylene membrane is placed between the glass surface of the camera screen and target fingertip (or other living object). Resulting images of fingertips' discharge coronas provide comprehencible information on the whole living system.FindingsPresent research resulted in the discovery of previously unknown phenomenon, which turned out to be specific for living systems. It is demonstrated that Kirlian radiation of fingertips can display almost exact replicas (holograms) of organism's internal organs and tissues. Each part of the body is able to provide holographic information on any problematic element of dynamic system. Holodiffractional nature of discovered phenomenon has been confirmed experimentally.Originality/valueThe discovery of new natural phenomenon represents a major step forward regarding both theoretical disciplines and practical biomedicine. Secondary holodiffractional radiation of body parts provides previously unavailable information on dynamic organization of the whole living system. Bioholographic information is already widely used for diagnostics of body/mind pathology.
PurposeThis paper seeks to present a hypothesis that is based not only on theoretical considerations, but also on experimental and clinical data. The hypothesis concerns the holographic principle as the main principle that ensures formation and functioning of any complex adaptive system (CAS).Design/methodology/approachThe submitted paper represents the continuation of an article published in 2005 in Kybernetes. It substantiates the crucial role of holo‐diffraction in system‐genesis and system‐functioning. New experimental results are discussed and some parallels are also drawn between natural systems of various scales.FindingsA new physical phenomenon of holo‐diffraction is considered as the general principle of CAS organization.Research limitations/implicationsBiological holograms, emitted by various minor parts of the human body in specified conditions, allow in vivo and harmless imaging of various internal disorders. New approach to the study of complex adaptive (living) systems would help researchers to reveal some general laws and regulations of natural systems formation.Practical implicationsA new approach to the study of living systems that is based on parametric and visual analysis of emitted holograms is already used for medical purposes. Recently developed analytical software is being tested.Originality/valueThe paper contributes to the understanding of those principles which enable any CAS to integrate, control and organize its components while functioning.
