Title
How does hierarchical soft structure create spontaneous activity： Smart dynamics from single macromolecule to human being
Organizers
Yoriko Atomi (The University of Tokyo), Kenichi Yoshikawa (Kyoto University)
Synopsis
As Professor Fumio Oosawa was inspired by the tracking motions produced by a prosiest several decades ago, spontaneity is a characteristic aspect of life. A protisis can behave with spontaneity resulting in selecting and deciding the comfortable environment for the survival after rushing back and forth. Such characteristics of procist suggests that a cell exhibits spontaneity as well as individual organisms. Since human beings belong to a multicellular organism, we have at least two levels of spontaneity, both at cells and an individual. In this symposium, we would like to focus on “a real living body” itself and its biological material system, which generates soft and loose structures and changeable shapes, and produces a directional activity, and to extend to both limits of a body, from micro to macro systems. We will start the discussion from the cytoskeleton, which is considered intrinsically to produce cell’s spontaneity in our body against the environment, water, and connect to the brain, which has been evolved to control actions in spontaneity in the society where the brain communicates. We have the intention to create a new concept of philosophy of spontaneity and initiative from the basis of principle of biological material science.
