This article presents current advances in Bios research demonstrating that creative and causal patterns are widespread in mathematical, physical, biological and human processes, and to explore its theoretical implications regarding thermodynamics, complexity and human science.

The development of analytic methods to study nonlinear processes provided an opportunity to mathematically and empirically study psychobiological processes. We developed new time series analyses1 to study heart beat intervals as a biological embodiment of emotional processes; heart rate also has medical significance in cardiology and neonatal pediatrics. These studies led us to identify a non-stationary fractal pattern which we labeled Bios2 3 that is causal and creative.
