That’s all the more a good idea because the concept itself of biological field remains essentially undefined and is far from being completely analyzed in theoretical terms. The concept comes to biology from physics and is a unique analogy of the remote interactions between objects that are traditionally called fields in physics. It is unquestionable, however, that the reality that got the name of biological field from A. G. Gurvich has, from the very outset, certain properties that indicate that the remote interactions between biological systems are substantially different from the physical interactions to which the concept of field has been affixed. The_most striking property of the biofield —- one that is specific and fundamentally unique -. is its dynamic systematism complicated by the property of selectivity. The cells of the cortex of the major hemispheres, for example, which make up a certain functional system of the brain, can detect field interactions between themselves, although they may be separated by rather considerable amounts of space. Those cells cannot, however, have any kind of field interactions with cells that are situated right next to them. Moreover, it is obvious that functional structures are constantly changing as a function of the tasks of human activity. That is why any given biofield interaction of any element of the brain may be replaced after a given period of time by an interaction with totally different elements. Physical fields, as a rule, are not acquainted with such selective systematism or such dynamism among elements. The informativeness of biofield structures must also be considered a unique quality. Analysis shows that biofields always come about and function only in the context of the processes of generation and transfer of biological information. That link between biological fields and bioinformational processes is a property intrinsic to those unique fields. Unlike biofields, known physical fields can perform the function of information carrier only if some outside influence is applied to them. It is significant that the informativeness of a physical field, which comes about as the result of the exertion of a systematic outside influence -- the modulation of an electromagnetic field, for example -- has no significance whatsoever for the existence and functioning of the physical system that generates or receives such modulation. The whole of the informativeness of the dynamics of physical fields has meaning only for the individual who created the physical systems in question -- radio receivers and transmitters, for example. But with biological fields, their informativeness is directly linked to the existence, the life process of the biological systems in which the fields function. All those unique features of biological field interactions make them so different from the field interactions of objects known to physics that they make the term "field” itself, as applied to the processes of living systems, extremely arbitrary and, to a large extent, metaphorical. Perhaps, in the future we will think about creating a new concept, one that more adequately reflects the properties of those specific fillegible] interactions. Approved For Release 2000/08/15."

And the fact that those complex interactions are beyond the pale not only of physics, but also of all of natural science indicates that in our picture of the world, something fundamental was left out when the principles of natural-science inquiry were being formed. There is reason to believe that that omission was associated with the fact that the object of most of the study of natural sciences was matter and the processes taking place in it. Of course, one cannot help but note that, in addition to matter, the objects filling the world also havé-Tornr» But in the system of the world, the form of an object has not been given the significance of a fundamental factor. The category of form was made chiefly the object of philosophical analysis. However, the actual existence of form in objects as some_always. ific material structure poses the challen ali) its-wave-and field properties. At present, the reality of the physical ies — ially field properties --_of the form in obiects can be proven by many groups of facts. ch facts are the data that point the existence of a charged layer around the human body. Those data also include data indicating the effectiveness of manipulating biologically active points of the skin. As ancient theoreticians of acupuncture assert, life-giving energy is concentrated around the human body in the space near the skin. Constituting another group of facts pointing to the existence of forms as wave (or field) structures are those of (?lozokhodstva?), which was named too broadly and not entirely adequately by the term “biophysical effect." Analysis shows that the basis of that effect may be the interaction of the structural features of the external field (aura) of an operator and the external fields (form) of the sought-for object. There is reason to believe that the properties of biofield structures that are responsible for the informational interaction of those structures are linked to specific features of the form in objects existing as a physical reality. Discovering those features could be of interest to a whole array of branches of knowledge; it presumes a special theoretical and experimental analysis of fundamental problems. Such analysis will probably be performed in the near future. In the context of all these remarks, of special interest are the physical data that are already enabling the analysis of the possibilities of informational interactions. In particular, of great importance are the physical tenets that demonstrate how information exchange can take place, with no expenditure of energy, between spatially separate systems. Il.

The work by those individuals demonstrated experimentally the possibility of detecting field potential when E=B=0 and thereby showed the limitedness of the “engineering” description of an electromagnetic field with E and B. The results of those experiments enabled R. Feynman to again announce the “physical reality" of field potentials.’ The successful experiments of Jaklevic and Chambers legitimize the issue of the "reality" of the existence of electromagnetic field potenti dCJongitudinsl waved propagating, for example. along the axis of an oscillating electrical dipole (or along the plane of a magnetic dipole).
