A Markovian formalization of heart rate dynamics evinces a quantum-like hypothesis.
Most investigations into heart rate dynamics have emphasized continuous functions, whereas the heart beat itself is a discrete event. We present experimental evidence that by considering this quality, the dynamics may be appreciated as a result of singular dynamics arising out of non-Lipschitz formalisms. Markov process analysis demonstrates that heart beats may then be considered in terms of quantum-like constraints.
