Info-activity of the immune system from the perspective of the informational model of the human body and living structures

Abstract

In this paper it is demonstrated the informational nature of the activity of the immune system, and its role within the informational system of the human body, on the basis of the informational concept defined as matter-related information. This concept is derived from the observation that the interactions between the micro-material particles of the human body are under a permanent dynamic process, forming complex compounds or decomposing in constitutive components, with absorption and release of information. On the basis of this concept, it is possible to describe coherently on one hand the metabolic and genetic processes from informational perspective, for the body maintenance and its growth/development or the plasticity of parts of it, and on the other hand the info-relation between its components, based on the “language” compatibility and right communicational operability between micro-material informational agents carrying the information to the brain, the central managing operator/processor of the entire organism, and between them themselves. The identification of the specific distinct components of the informational system of the human body allows to describe it as a communication between brain and body, performed mainly by YES/NO binary-Bit-type mechanisms, both at the macro and microscopic level of the constitutive cells. The analysis of the immune system within this context and as a part of the informational system of the human body, allows to highlight that this activity can be described by the same concept of information, showing that the basic operative informational processes consists in combined genetic and communication mechanisms, as the informational model of the human body and living structures and its concepts predicts and demonstrates.
