Abstract
This paper describes the movement of biological systems on different kinds of environments, which was simulated with the aid of a digital computer plotter. The biological system is represented by two areas A a and A d , called the feeding and discard areas respectively, and separated by a constant distance d. Each triplet ( A a,A d,d ) determines the position of M with respect to E, and the consecutive positions determine the movement of the biological system. The possible movements of the biological system vary according to the areas, the spaces to be covered, the rules that govern the succession of states, etc. The plotter makes it possible to visualize these motions, so that many different interactions between M and E may be studied. It also becomes possible to determine other important parameters, such as the general direction taken by the system M, the width of its path, the distance between successive states, the possibility of environmental regeneration, etc. Therefore, this line of work contributes not only to theoretical biomathematics, but also to a wide variety of practical applications.

This would involve the relative variation of A, Ad and d, the rules for erasing A, and Ad, the environmental limit, the position of M’s initial state with respect to the limit, etc. In this line of analysis, it is interesting to see how the principle of adequate design may be applied in order to explain the tendency of many different biological systems to turn in the same direction in a repeated sequence
Summary
The possible movements of the biological system vary according to the areas, the spaces to be covered, the rules that govern the succession of states, etc The plotter makes it possible to visualize these motions, so that many different interactions between M and f may be studied. It becomes possible to determine other important parameters, such as the general direction taken by the system M, the width of its path, the distance between successive states, the possibility of environmental regeneration, etc. This line of work contributes to theoretical biomathematics, and to a wide variety of practical applications
