System isomorphisms also appear in problems which are recalcitrant to
quantitative analysis but are nevertheless of great intrinsic interest. There are, for
example, isomorphies between biological systems and "epiorganisms" (Gerard)

Consequently, quantitative laws in sensory physiology, such as the Weber-
Fechner law, belong to open systems kinetics. Hecht (1931), long before the
formal introduction of open systems, expressed the theory of photoreceptors and
