On the nature of growth and new growth based on experiments designed to reveal a structure and function for laboratory space. Part II. An approach to the structure of space through quantum field theory with examples of possible biological relevance

A previous paper in this series described experiments and observations which could have been produced by properties derived from the quality of laboratory space. In particular, action at a distance was of commonplace occurrence. It was argued that support for this idea was forthcoming from two recent developments in physics, that of non-linear thermodynamics and that of quantum mechanics followed by quantum electrodynamics. The first permitted the concept of a formative or structuring role for energy permeating matter the second the concept of a structure and function for space. One of these functions was to provide for the creation of subatomic particles and thus of matter. This creativity is achieved from an origin in a non-observable world where the equations have no terms for distance or time. The demonstration of the insignificance of distance in the experiments reported using both crystal and biological growth was used to infer that events in this growth process were similarly preceeded by events in the non-observable world. The implications of such an origin for growth and new growth are discussed.
