Being free from ceteris paribus: a vehicle for founding physics on biology rather than the other way around

摘要

Once the stipulation of ceteris paribus, requiring that other conditions are equal, is removed, recognition as a capacity for distinguishing between before and after its own act naturally comes to the surface. Although it has been extremely successful in deciphering a wide variety of material processes, physics still succumbs to its methodological limitation originating in adopting ceteris paribus in one form or another. In contrast, biology is unique in allowing the capacity of recognition as a basic simple fact. Interaction free from any from of ceteris paribus yields internal agents of recognition that can do measurement internally. Internal measurement refers to the process of symbol specification taking place internally, instead of its manipulation as practiced in the scheme of equations of motion. Appreciation of the capacity for recognition or internal measurement set free from the condition of ceteris paribus provides the possibility of the biologicalization of physics.
