Kinetic theory of living pattern.
The self-organization whereby developing organisms generate the patterns and spatial relationships of their parts has not been explained on any generally accepted theoretical basis. There is a wide gulf between physical scientists and experimental biologists in their expectations of the kind of theory that is best to pursue. Physical scientists incline towards the power of nonlinear dynamics to generate pattern and are trying evangelistically to interest biologists in this approach.
