Let us begin the sequential analysis of structural laws of systems construction from the middle scale interval \- from the interval where *electromagnetism* dominates in the construction of objects of nature by 20 orders of magnitude.

This is the same "Thompson's pudding", rejected in its time for the structure of atoms, only 105 times smaller in size, and referring exclusively to the positively charged and neutral particles of the atomic nucleus \- nucleons. The sizes of nuclei do not exceed 10-12 cm, then, as we have already written, in nature there is an unexplained failure of structures down to the size of mesoatoms \- 10-10 cm. However, the structure of the atoms themselves, in contrast to the structure of their nuclei, is already fundamentally different \- predominantly ***monocentric*** (see Fig. 1.23).

This is the same "Thompson's pudding", rejected in its time for the structure of atoms, only \\(10^{5}\\) times smaller in size, and referring exclusively to the positively charged and neutral particles of the atomic nucleus - nucleons. The sizes of nuclei do not exceed \\(10^{-12}\\) cm, then, as we have already written, in nature there is an unexplained failure of structures down to the size of mesoatoms - \\(10^{-10}\\) cm. However, the structure of the atoms themselves, in contrast to the structure of their nuclei, is already fundamentally different - predominantly ***monocentric*** (see Fig. 1.23)[^ref-75].
Thus, if we follow along the S-axis the evolution of matter at the early stages of its formation in the nascent Universe *from nuclear scales to atomic scales*, we find a ***certain qualitative jump in the types of systems***. Up to a certain threshold of scales the structures are *polycentric* and have no distinguished nucleus. After the threshold there appear completely different structures \- *atoms with a pronounced nucleus*.
In an atom, it is the nucleus that determines the fundamental properties and has orders of magnitude more mass and binding energy. Such a sharp material separation of the center is a unique phenomenon for nature, especially since the size of the nucleus is negligibly small in relation to the whole atom\*.

The monocentric structure of the atom has an additional feature \- the *shell structure*, because electrons are "spread" on their shells with fixed diameters. Thus, the structure of the atom differs from the structure of the nucleus in that it contains a functionally important nucleus and an internal shell structure.
In principle, it can be argued that the entire S-axis region from nuclei (10-13 cm) to atoms (10-8 cm) is occupied by monocentric structures, and as one moves from proton to hydrogen atom, the degree of monocentricity of the structures increases (from No. 8 to No. 1, see Fig. 1.21). However, the section of the S-axis dominated by monocentric systems occupies a very short interval, about 5 orders of magnitude. The dominance of monocentric structures almost ends after the atomic scale range. If we move a little to the right along the S-axis, we immediately enter the region of *polycentricity dominance* (see Fig. 1.24).

So, let us note an important phenomenological fact: on a short scale interval \- from atomic nuclei to atoms themselves \- the structure of matter makes a fundamental jump ***from*** one pole to another: ***from polycentrism to monocentrism***.

Let us go back and consider in more detail the nature of polycentrism of atomic nuclei.

How is the PROTON organized? Does it have a central core, spherical shells? Its structure was presented to physicists as such for quite a long time. The inertia of the revolution made by Rutherford, who "beat" Thompson's polycentric model of the *atom with the* monocentric *model,* was the reason. The monocentric model of the proton was called the central core model. However, experimental data soon disproved this model. It was as if nature had mocked the inertia of the physicists' model thinking. It so stunned them that even the title of the paragraph on the structure of the nucleon in one of the classic books on nuclear physics slipped the appropriate mood: "The end of the core."79 The way out of the crisis was found by R. Feynman, who proposed the part on **model** (*part* \- *part \- part*), where the nucleon consists of parts, it has no shells and no core. "According to Feynman, the nucleon in its rest frame is a complex particle consisting of virtual point parts \- partons."80

Obviously, such an internal structure of the nucleon is ***absolutely polycentric*** (see Fig. 1.25), although its shape is spherical, which is an external sign of monocentricity. Therefore, the proton can be referred to the MS-Dorm No. 5\. So, although ***polycentrism is*** still widespread at distances from 10-13 cm to 10-12 cm, we can find in this range of scales some signs of ***monocentrism***, although it is still very far from being complete. To the right of the 10-12 cm point, polycentric structures are already practically impossible either to meet in nature or to form artificially (creation of hypernuclei is a big problem81).

Thus, we see that the Macro-interval of the S-axis is not equally populated by different types of structures; in general, the situation is as follows: monocentrism dominates at the first 5 orders, while polycentrism dominates at the remaining 15 orders (see Fig. 1.26). There are, however, very interesting exceptions.
In the world of *inorganic matter, the* return of monocentrism (though in a weak form, i.e. not by all signs) is observed exclusively in the size range of 10-100 microns, namely in the lowest point (in the trough) of the given fragment of SWS \- the Macro-interval (and, as it has already been noted, in the S \- CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE (SCU)\*.

> For a better associative understanding of the problem, we will further use a new concept \- POTENTIAL STABILITY TROUGH, which corresponds to the lower part of the CU between the humps. Then there will be only 7 potential stability troughs (5 full troughs and 2 half-troughs at the edges of the S-interval) on the model of the HU (see Chapter II).
We are talking about the discovered mysterious appearance of spherical shapes both among cosmic dust83 and in the dust of volcanic origin. The fact is that most dust of cosmic origin has an angular fragmentary shape, and meteorites of all sizes have a chaotic shape. In this long range from hundreds of angstroms to hundreds of kilometers, one never found any particular symmetry until one came across balls of cosmic origin (see Fig. 1.27A). It turned out that "the vast majority of background deposition balls are 20-60 μm in size "84 and almost all of them are between 10 and 100 μm in size. The number of balls deposited on Earth is conservatively estimated at 104 tons per year. The same balls have been found on the surface of the Moon. Balls of similar sizes have been found in volcanic dust, although the conditions of their formation are very far from the conditions of formation of space balls. So, ***nature creates spherical forms in the size range from 10 to 100 microns regardless of the conditions of formation and almost independently of the chemical composition***. This is especially surprising against the background of angular and typically polycentric structures for all crystalline matter in the range of 15 orders of the Macro-interval.

We failed to find any mention of nuclei and shells in marbles. It can be assumed that in some cases other features of monocentrism may appear in balls, but it is unlikely to expect the presence of all three features in their structure.
Thus, we note that the ***rare manifestation of monocentrism in*** the ***macrocosm*** coincides with the presence in this range of sizes of the ***stability trough*** on the SW, and, moreover, its exact coincidence with the ***scale center of the Universe***. Obviously, the unique appearance of the spherical shape of balls in this range of scales is related to these factors, because it is known: the ***more symmetric the shape, the more stable the object***.

However, like a large-scale series of non-living systems, a number of protein systems (except for cells, which occupy a rather narrow interval of the S-axis) are represented mainly by P-structures (see Fig. 1.27B). Let us take a closer look at perhaps the only exception to this series of P-centered structures, the ***eukaryotic cell*** (a cell with a nucleus) (see Fig. 1.28).

They have a nucleus, which contains all the genetic material and controls their development. This is the first thing that distinguishes them structurally from ***prokaryotic cells*** (see Fig. 1.29), although, of course, they have many other differences85. In ***prokaryotes, the*** genetic material is located in the cytoplasm and is not protected by anything. There is ***no true nucleus and no nucleolus***. In ***eukaryotes, the*** genetic material is located in chromosomes inside the nuclei.
What is important for us in this case is that *prokaryotes* are mainly 0.5 to 5 microns in size, while *eukaryotes* are usually up to 40 microns. Consequently, the ***nucleus \- as a sign of monocentricity*** \- appears in cells (eukaryotes) whose size exceeds ***10 µm***.\*

Obviously, the cell nucleus, the size of which is on average close to 10-30 µm, is a *striking sign of M-structure* for living systems. However, there are practically no other signs of monocentricity in them. All cells (eukaryotes) by definition have at least one sign of monocentricity \- the nucleus (see Fig. 1.28), but their shape is mostly non-spherical. However, the absence of spherical shape of a cell may be a consequence of the fact that neighboring cells closely adjoin it, and they distort the natural potentially spherical shape of a single cell of a multicellular organism. In fact, many simplest organisms have a much more centrosymmetric structure \- cells that exist autonomously, such as radiolaria (see Fig. 1.30), their sizes lie mainly in the range of 40-100 microns. It is not for nothing that they got their name; their ***radius-radius structure*** is the 4th additional sign of monocentricity. In addition, many of them have a spherical shape, a central core and sometimes shells.
"A characteristic feature of the structure of radiolarians is the presence of a central capsule ... In some species are formed not one, but several balls, nested in each other and connected by radial needles."\*

***After the size of 100 µm, monocentricity practically recedes*** (see Fig. 1.27B). Even radiolarians with larger sizes can take an already not so spherical shape or completely non-spherical and even polycentric (see Fig. 1.31). For unicellular organisms with sizes greater than 100 µm (e.g., infusoria), only one of the three main features of monocentricity is inherent in the presence of a nucleus.

Thus, we can confidently assert that for protein systems in motion along the S-axis, **monocentrism** is manifested mainly in the size range of 10-100 µm\*.
Movement along the S-axis beyond 100 µm leads to the dominance of P-type structures and almost complete disappearance of M-type structures (see Fig. 1.27B). The exception is large germ cells, which are most often spherical in shape (see Fig. 1.32) and in some cases reach several centimeters in size (bird eggs, for example).

> Therefore, it may be noted that beyond the 100 µm limit, sphericity appears primarily where the system is functionally closest to the reproduction process.
This phenomenon can be called a large-scale ***memory of shape***: germ cells, apparently, at the very beginning of the evolution of biosystems always had sizes from 10 to 100 μm, and only later some of them acquired larger sizes, but they retained sphericity and other signs of monocentricity.

\*\* Therefore, it may be noted that beyond the 100 µm limit, sphericity appears primarily where the system is functionally closest to the reproduction process.
This memory of form is reflected in the eggs of birds and in the seeds of many plants. But what is interesting: signs of monocentricity are manifested as *shape memory* most strongly in the *reproductive organs of* many multicellular *organisms.* For example, ovaries in animals are the organs closest to spherical symmetry, and flowers in plants \- to radial symmetry.
If we do not take these and other rare exceptions (sea urchins and similar spherical and radial-radial forms of animals and plants), it is obvious that after the transition from cells to cellular organisms, *monocentrism* disappears and is replaced by *polycentrism* again.

In parallel with the loss of monocentric features, as one moves from the 10-100 μm range toward larger systems, the symmetry elements and the degree of symmetry are rapidly lost. As is known86 , the ***highest symmetry is possessed by a sphere with a center of symmetry,*** and the lowest symmetry group is ***mirror symmetry***. Therefore, starting from radiolarians and germ cells, which have symmetry close to the maximum, the transition to ***larger*** and ***larger bioorganisms*** is accompanied by the loss of symmetry, until for many animals, out of all kinds of possible symmetries in Nature, only one \- mirror symmetry, the lowest type of symmetry \- remains.

Beyond the 102 cm SWS ridge (on which humans "sit"), *social and biological community systems* mostly begin, as rare animals cross the meter range and rare plants cross the ten-meter range. Polycentric structures also dominate here. Moreover, the symmetry of form and structure is almost completely lost here. So, let us finalize the consideration of biosystems and return to the consideration of the MACRO- INTERVAL as a whole. Let us summarize the results.

Throughout the entire Macro-interval, regardless of the type of systems and their origin, one pattern can be traced: the ***first order is occupied by transitional forms, the next four orders are exclusively monocentric forms, the remaining 15 orders are mainly polycentric forms***.
