at any frequency and magnitude. What is the benefit or adverse
effect for a particular exposure setup? That is one of the aims
of the emerging science of medical and therapeutic biophotonics.
There are others, including studying the precise details of how the
various tissues and organs operate as biophotonic systems. As well
as being a biochemical and a genetic system, DNA in its various
forms is a biophotonic system that evolves over time. How does
this interrelationship play out, and what are the details? We know
the body can be both an emitter and a receiver of biophotons.

emerging life to a greater level of intricacy than previously available
when our knowledge was obscured by an incomplete mathematical
physics. While we can discern the genetic characters of the topic
of life, we do not know what the sentences mean, let alone the
paragraphs. We stumble upon meaning in a haphazard way at
present, sometimes trying, for example, to use chemical means of
therapy if we are fortunate enough to see a link between genome
and disease. Biophotonics as a form of medical intervention is upon
us. We need to study the essential processes that come together to
repair, sustain and replicate terrestrial life.
1.8 Mathematics of Endogenous Fields within the Cell
Cycle
Over the past 80 years the structures of atoms, molecules and
macromolecules have been calculated using QM and other QFTs.
These theories are based on Lagrangian formulations in which
wave equations are second-order differential equations, compared
with the first-order differential equations relating to the E and H
fieldsgivenbyMaxwell'sequations.Whilethesepotentialequations
are considered by their waveform to be simpler than Maxwell's
equations, because they are second-order they involve complicating
gauge functions chosen for particular geometric applications. This
integral form of Maxwell's equations results in the photon being
effectively modelled as a single-point particle, a form of Dirac
