Periodic system of regulation states
Biological systems are characterized by a variety of possible regulatory states. A healthy biological system is able to adapt to different loads and changes from activation to deactivation and vice-versa in a defined manner (e.g., sleep - awake state, REM etc.). Under stress load, there are effects of the required increase in attention (stress, exhaustion, trance), which are ultimately reflected in a very rigid regulation (cramps, overload inhibition). If the stress is increased, the regulatory system is split into different and often independent regulatory processes (uncertainty, nervousness, neuroticism). If the stress is increased even further, regulatory processes can fail and erratic behaviour may be observed (e.g., apathy, depression, coma). When the last regulatory process fails, the biological system ends its life functions.
