The following presentation is based on a book to be published in early 2012, Biomatrix Systems Theory in Graphics.

The figures below depict the key concepts of Biomatrix Systems Theory. They are composed from the elements of the Biomatrix Graphic Alphabet. A few figures depict a metaphor, analogy or example.

How to proceed:

  • Feel free to browse our presentation randomly by clicking on any of the thumbnails.
