摘　　要：Beginning with the quantum theory of biophoton emission,a c-number equation character- izing the excited-state dynamics of a complex system of collective biomolecules in interaction with both the 'pumping'field and the biophoton field is presented,and then the order-growth process of the system in terms of both determinism and statistics is investigated.A general expression describing the order-growth dynamics of biological systems,which reduces in a limiting case to the well-known growth curve,is ob~ tained.Then a Fokker-Planck equation for probability density function of an order parameter q of the system has been established.The solution predicts that the system under consideration can evolute from an arbitrary initial state to a pure state characterized by the steady-state order parameter q_1.Furthermore,the evolution of the maximum entropy of the system is discussed,which shows that the system investigated is to keep an absolute maximum of entropy,and at the same time,to minimize its entropy value by reducing the uncertain- ty of the order parameter.Finally,some agreements of the theoretical results with the corresponding experi- mental observations of order-growth process demonstrated by the biophoton emission are shown,which indi- cates that biophoton emission may serve as a potential measure of the organizational order.Beginning with the quantum theory of biophoton emission,a c-number equation character-izing the excited-state dynamics of a complex system of collective biomolecules in interaction with both the"pumping"field and the biophoton field is presented,and then the order-growth process of the system interms of both determinism and statistics is investigated.A general expression describing the order-growthdynamics of biological systems,which reduces in a limiting case to the well-known growth curve,is ob^tained.Then a Fokker-Planck equation for probability density function of an order parameter q of the systemhas been established.The solution predicts that the system under consideration can evolute from an arbitraryinitial state to a pure state characterized by the steady-state order parameter q₁.Furthermore,the evolutionof the maximum entropy of the system is discussed,which shows that the system investigated is to keep anabsolute maximum of entropy,and at the same time,to minimize its entropy value by reducing the uncertain-ty of the order parameter.Finally,some agreements of the theoretical results with the corresponding experi-mental observations of order-growth process demonstrated by the biophoton emission are shown,which indi-cates that biophoton emission may serve as a potential measure of the organizational order.
