Robert Rosen wrote extensively about many scientific subjects, with a research stream that always circled back to the essential question of 'What is life?' Below you can access most of his published work, as well as some unpublished notes, including the primary ideas that led to the development of Life Itself I: Epistemology, and its intended sequel, Life Itself II: Ontology.

A quantum-theoretic approach to genetic problems

The text presents a quantum-theoretic framework for understanding genetic information transfer, suggesting that a single observable can encapsulate this information and exploring its implications for genetic effects, while relating the approach to existing biochemical concepts and previous quantum theories

A relational theory of biological systems II

The study applies Category Theory to define and analyze abstract (M,R)-systems, introducing a time-lag structure that leads to a general Principle of Optimal Design and insights into the localization of repair mechanisms akin to cellular nuclear arrangements

A relational theory of the structural changes induced in biological systems by alterations in environment

Environmental changes can lead to diverse structural alterations in the metabolic and genetic systems of (M,R)-systems, with implications for understanding biological processes like the mitotic cycle
