Abstract: Intra–inter dynamics approach is presented to study a biological system. It consists of units with internal dynamics, interaction among them, and their replication (and death) according to their internal states. Based on such scheme, a novel picture on a biological system is given, which consists of isologous diversification, collective stability, and emergence of recursivity, where the term “isologous” represents an intrinsic mechanism for the differentiation of identical units. Stages of differentiation process, as well as novel concepts in developmental process are briefly sketched.
