Table 1.
Basic terminology.
Fig 1.
Graphic representation of basal and SEL-associated entropy production and their relation to system death. t—time, Sprod—production of entropy, SSEL—stress entropic load
Table 2.
Variables description for the model.
Fig 2.
The lifetime of a living system as a repeated/successive transformation from one homeostatic stationary state (with its own homeostatic region) to another.
t = time, t1, t2, t3 = separate time points, tconc = time of conception (i.e. zygote creation), t1+allost = allostatic process at time point t1, t2+allost = allostatic process at time point t2, SSEL—stress entropic load.
