An ultra simple model of protoplasm to test the theory of its long-range coherence and control so far tested (and affirmed) mostly on intact cell(s).

According to the association-induction hypothesis, the core of living phenomena lies in the long-range, one-on-many connectedness among all three major components of living protoplasm: protein, water and K+ (and the controlling agents, called the cardinal adsorbents.) This article describes simple experimental models that could cogently test the theory of this connectedness and its control by drugs and other cardinal adsorbents.
