SIGNIFICANCE OF THE CHEMOTON THEORY
The major significance of the chemoton theory
consists naturally in the attitude creating a unified, common
scientific background for chemical and biological phenomena, and
in the step by step mode in which it provides a solid foundation
for them by using philosophical, scientific and mathematical means.
It is also significant that, in addition to creating mechanical
and electric machineries, it makes also possible to go a third
way, to design fluid (chemical) machineries. Finally, it is also
of outstanding importance that it defines accurately the borderline
between chemistry and biology, i.e. it separates exactly the living
from the non-living by creating and defining also mathematically
the minimum system of life, the chemoton .
Moreover, the theory has also partial
results in fields of both chemistry and biology being very
significant per se, as they solve or make quantitative
problems of chemistry or biology having existed in science
for centuries.
