On the evolution of form and function. Starting with the formation of micelles and chemiosmosis, life began as the reduction in entropy, maintained by homeostasis. The generation of endomembranes (nuclear envelope, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi) created intracellular compartments; compartmentation gave rise to the germ lines (ectoderm, mesoderm endoderm) which monitor environmental changes and facilitate cellular Evolution accordingly. This is the basis for “fractal physiology”.
