Hierarchical Complexity and Aging - Towards a Physics of Aging

Tarynn M. Witten

2016

Abstract

In this paper we extend the previous work of Witten and her team on defining a classical physics driven model of survival in aging populations (Eakin, 1994; Eakin and Witten, 1995a; Eakin and Witten, 1995b; Witten and Eakin, 1997) by revisiting the concept of a force of aging and introducing the concepts of a momentum of aging, a kinetic energy and a potential energy of an aging. As an example of the use of these constructs, we then explore the implications of these concepts with respect to the (Yu et al., 1982) diet restriction experiments.
