Sur L'interprétation de la Loi Logistique de Croissance: Une Re-lecture de la Relation Entre Autocatalyse et Croissance On The Interpretation of the Logistic Law of Growth: A New Reading of the Relationships between Autocatalysis and Growth

The logistic function now constitutes the most widely used model for there presentation of growth kinetics of the continuous monotonous type in biological systems (populations, organisms, organs, ...). This ubiquity led to consider logistics from a phenomenological rather than mechanistic viewpoint. Whence the question : can logistics be given an interpretation, a signification which confers the rank of an "explicative" model to it?
