Abstract

Vital Force is a concept that has suffered at the hands of the current medical model. An attempt is made to show how it might be possible to explain Vital Force in terms of complexity theory. A metaphor is introduced for the operation of Vital Force in terms of gyroscopic motion.

Keywords

Vital Force - complexity theory - quantum mechanics - gyroscope - spin - precession
