What It Is: This framework views the body as a dynamic environment where cells, microbes, and biochemical signals interact continuously.
Why It Matters: Modern medicine treats the body as a collection of isolated parts, but true health emerges from relationships within the whole multi-dimensional system.
Key Concepts
Interdependence of
Biological Systems
Cells, tissues, and microbes rely on each other to maintain overall function.
Environmental Influence
on Cellular Behavior
Local conditions shape how cells respond, adapt, and communicate.
Network dynamics
in health
Health arises from coordinated activity across complex biological networks.
