A discussion of the relevance of each possible scientific precedent is beyond this paper's scope, but the context of these experimental data may intersect with some aspects of biological field theory [22][23][24][25] and experiment. It may also extend those theories in new directions.…”

“…These findings would have implications for such disciplines as biology, medicine, consciousness studies, and physics, as researchers of the biological field have consistently postulated and discussed. 25,26 Conclusions A normally invisible structure has been recorded in the amputated sections of leaves. This formation seems capable of photographic registration during corona discharge imaging.…”

A normally undetected phantom "structure," possibly evidence of the biological field, can persist in the area of an amputated leaf section, and corona discharge can occur from this invisible structure. This protocol may suggest a testable method to study properties of conductivity and other parameters through direct observation of the complete biological field in plant leaves, with broad implications for biology and physics.

While all this work can be regarded as complementary and efforts are being made to integrate these different research programs, along with a number of other allied or parallel developments in theoretical biology (Bischof, 2003;Letelier et.al., 2011), this is research in progress rather than a completed program.…”

ABSTRACT:Defending Robert Rosen's claim that in every confrontation between physics and biology it is physics that has always had to give ground, it is shown that many of the most important advances in mathematics and physics over the last two centuries have followed from Schelling's demand for a new physics that could make the emergence of life intelligible. Consequently, while reductionism prevails in biology, many biophysicists are resolutely anti-reductionist. This history is used to identify and defend a fragmented but progressive tradition of anti-reductionist biomathematics. It is shown that the mathematico-physico-chemico morphology research program, the biosemiotics movement, and the relational biology of Rosen, although they have developed independently of each other, are built on and advance this anti-reductionist tradition of thought. It is suggested that understanding this history and its relationship to the broader history of post-Newtonian science could provide guidance for and justify both the integration of these strands and radically new work in post-reductionist biomathematics.

“…In quantum mechanics, it is never possible to describe the whole by the description of parts and their interrelations. This holistic view of quantum theory cannot be rejected anymore because the strange EPR quantum correlations of non-interacting and spatially separated systems have been amply demonstrated in many experiments [24].…”

Technoetic Pathways toward the Spiritual in Art: A Transdisciplinary Perspective on Connectedness, Coherence and Consciousness

In technology we are witnessing the convergence of dry computational systems and wet biological processes, involving the assembly of bits, atoms, neurons and genes in conjunctions that will provide the artist with a new kind of material substrate, for which I have coined the term moistmedia [1]. Of these components, it is the bit that is the most familiar to artists: computational systems and digital media have dominated the techno-art scene for at least 30 years. Attention in this paper, however, is directed to the atom, to the nano level of interaction, and to the molecular domain-more particularly, to an organism's information network of photons emitted by DNA molecules, paralleled technologically by the constant flows of electrons and photons across the body of the planet through telematic networks. As science digs deeper into matter, moving, re-assembling and coordinating atoms and molecules in the nanofield, the distinction between the organic and the technological is becoming less clear. Similarly our molecular knowledge may lead us to a better understanding of changes in consciousness and perception afforded by pharmacology. Whatever turns out to be the case, we are now increasingly focusing our attention on the very small, at a level far beyond miniaturization: A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter. This level of operation is, in any retinal sense and no matter how technologically augmented our eyes are, literally out of sight. So much so that the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) calls for touch [2] rather than vision to navigate the nanofield and to manipulate individual atoms. I argue below that the nanofield mediates between pure matter and pure consciousness and that its significance as an interface between two levels of reality can hardly be overestimated.
