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 Below you can access most of his published work, as well as some unpublished notes, including the primary ideas that led to the development of Life Itself I: Epistemology, and its intended sequel, Life Itself II: Ontology.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 note on abstract relational biologies

The structure of a specific subcategory within the category of all sets significantly influences the construction of abstract block diagrams for (M,R)-systems, leading to distinct "abstract biologies" and revealing important relationships between category structure and mapping embeddability

A note on replication in (M,R)-systems

The condition for induced replication maps in (M,R)-systems imposes significant limitations on the category's complexity while providing a biologically interpretable framework for empirical validation and insights into their physical and biological manifestations

A note on the cross-reactivity of antibodies

Each antibody acts as a "feature detector" for antigens, with the proportion of antigens bearing a single feature being 1/N, indicating that cross-reactivity influences the total number of features N, which typically require at least five amino acids in protein antigens

A note on the quantum-theoretic basis of primary genetic activity

This study supports a general theory of primary genetic processes by comparing its predictions with experimental data on DNA and RNA, while allowing for alternative interpretations of the information-bearing objects involved
