[Organism as a functional unity of oscillation processes of varying frequency].

The present concept of organism as an oscillating system is discussed in light of the biological rhythms theory. The phenomenon of biological rhythm is viewed as a result of unity and mutual confrontation of the fundamental conflicts in the life process - destruction and creation. Consideration is given to the system-making role of diurnal rhythms keeping the organism functioning as integration. Possible mechanisms of interrelationships of rhythms with different frequencies based on the principles of ascending from simple to complicated, biological amortization, level destabilization, multiple ratios and frequency locking are dealt with. Emphasis is placed on the necessity of conceptualizing the physiological norm as a rhythmic phenomenon.
