✦ Synopsis

The recent mathematical formalization of the concepts of matter and extrinsical energy, which are used for the relational representation of biological systems, is employed in the analysis of the important experimental discoveries of Comorosan et al. related to low energy electromagnetic irradiations on enzyme substrates. By means of the present analysis one of the properties inherent to the experimental phenomena is more precisely exposed, and theoretical developments corresponding to "energetical evolutions" in a biological system (Leguizam6n, 1976) may now have an experimental basis.

Important limitations are introduced for the validity of the commutativity and associativity of cartesian product of sets, when they represent matter and its linked extrinsical energy. In connection with this last aspect, new important knowledge is obtained for the relational mathematical representation of biological systems.

1. On the Concept of Energy in the Representation of Biological

Systems. In a previous paper (Leguizam6n, 1975) the energy was expressly introduced into the biological system's relational representation. In a diagram as is given by Fig. 1, the sets X~(i= 1, 2) represent matter in a given physical state, and the one-point sets as E~i (j~J, J= 1,2,...,n-1) and E~(keK, K=1,2,...,n-1) represent the different values of the extrinsical energies which are linked to the material sets X1 and X2 respectively.
