Abstract: In order to investigate the regularities of the aging of the organisms, the concept of the space of life-cycle-states of a living system is introduced. A mathematical model based on a number of general assumptions makes it possible to estimate the dimension of this space, to determine the motion law of a living system in this space and to calculate the force-of-mortality function. This function is in accordance with empirical data for the human population in different age groups.
