Knowledge: A Measurable Universal Phenomenon of Life

James R. Simms and Patrick J. Johnson

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, 2012, vol. 29, issue 4, 448-456

Abstract: This article describes the development of the fundamental principles of the science of life, which are equivalent to those of the natural (hard) sciences, such as physics and chemistry. The natural sciences are typified by identification of universal phenomena, relations among these phenomena and fundamental measures and units of measure for these phenomena. It is shown that matter, energy, knowledge, information and behaviour are universal phenomena of life and that there are relations among these phenomena. Units of measure for these phenomena were previously developed, except for knowledge. The principles of life sciences are developed using the natural sciences (Newton) development model. Names are also suggested for new dimensions of quantitative measures of biochemical, genetic and neural knowledge. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
