ENWorld is very complex. We in it are complex too, while the interrelations between two complex systems are even more complicated. Therefore the outcomes of these relations are unpredictable and frequently tragic. We are using the term of stress too frequently. There are a great number of stress definitions. Some define stress as positive, some – as negative. Sometimes stress is described as a mean to maintain the normal status of the organism. When unpredicted sudden changes of environment, which change our statuses, sometimes not reacting to changes properly and as result – perdition. Sometimes the lack of stress evokes such quantitative as well qualitative changes in our internal systems that this condition also leads to death. So the conflicts between organism and surroundings are constant. There is one outcome. We know such branches of medicine and science as geology, geography, space, astromedicine and biology. Environment is creating us, formatting us, we are reacting to the chemical, physical fluctuations. Our organism is also made of chemical and physical elements. From the purely mechanical point of view this is very normal coexistence of different systems. However from the biological point the situation is more complex and contradictory. Let us schematically imagine our organism as an element of the periodic table of Mendeleyev – without theological or materialistic background. The nucleus of this element could be genetic information. However the naked genetic information could not exist. It must form around it a shell, some kind of mantle. [Extract, p. 12]
