Stochastic branching process model of phylogeny in mm wave range electromagnetic field
2001
Branching processes are used for models of phenomena in which something increases reproductively, for example the case of cancer biocells division. This kind of process can also serve as a model of other biological phenomena, that is, simply cell division (ontogeny for multicellular organisms), reproduction, and phylogeny. In other words this model describes life reproducing itself in nature. On the other hand, "scaling" is often observed in such biological phenomena. Therefore it is worthwhile to study what branching processes generate scaling and what physical mechanisms are at work in these processes. In this paper, we discuss branching processes of biosystems placed in an extremely high frequency (EHF) electromagnetic field (EMF) of mm-wave range (with carrier frequency of 60 GHz) as models of reproduction resulting in speciation, and as a model of phylogeny. In morphogenetic evolution (with the help of a morphogenetic field of electromagnetic nature and wavelength /spl lambda//spl ap/1 mm), the evolutionary process has long periods of stasis divided by periods of rapid change (bifurcations this pattern is called usually in the literature "punctuated equilibrium"). We compare this pattern with that generated by our model of the reproduction process.
