John M. and All,
It is true that in many of the written work, Robert Rosen talked at
great length about the aspects of biological systems that physics, in its
contemporary state, cannot address adequately. What he was attempting to show,
however, is that the seeming inadequacy is all in our own minds. It is the
artificial restrictions on what physics today allows to be classified as
"reality" that are limiting the applicability of physics to biological phenomena
(which is really Complexity). Since he went so far as to point out how
complexity is the basis of all matter at the atomic level, and can be found in
non-living systems like global weather, he was actually unifying the sciences,
not continuing the segregation.
