The changes in material states in our body are very precisely regulated, calibrated, by an ongoing process of computations. It is the (phasic) information process that determines the (physical) manifest states. This is seen in the multiplication divisions of the first cell, the zygote. The precise computations maintain the integrity of the boundary condition. Every division re-computes the state of the interface of the system. Together this processes the properties of the boundary as a filter, and the way it serves as separator/connector. The ensuing further division dynamics lead to a seemingly amorphous developmental process, known as the embryo. The fluid dynamics are not, however, amorphous or unspecific: they are so precise that many years later the child resembles their parents. The morphology is the outcome of the ongoing computation. (This word serves in a double connotation, as ‘putting together’, and ‘calculating’.) The physics is the consequence of the phasics. Our body is not physical but phasical. (The anatomy is the consequence of the Physiology which is regulated by the Neurocrine System, as result of our (dis)integration in our context.) Medical interpretations of embryology need to be complemented with the mathematical understanding of the system integration, and its dynamics, and with the (meta)physical understanding of the properties of information storage and propagation in matter.
