A short tutorial on the Janus-faced logic of differentiation waves and differentiation trees and their evolution

摘要

Differentiation waves offer a different perspective on causality in embryogenesis from that of molecular developmental biology. Janus-faced cybernetic logic, with global and local top down/bottom up dynamics, eschews reductionism, is distinct from emergence, and outlines the process theoretically. Most aspects of differentiation waves require further investigation.
