Miasms
Miasms are complex systems in the strict sense of the word. Therefore, they have all the characteristics of a complex system. Theoretically Complex systems contains Element and Relations. Entities are composing elements of miasms which have relations with each other. But according to Complex system theory, Miasms are not simple summation of Entities.
Miasms vs Disease
Miasm may be mistaken for disease. Really it is sometimes very difficult to distinguish between them. Because the difference in some cases is very small. Miasm is actually the living and reversible part of the disease. Miasm is the part of the disease that expert doctors promise to treat to their patients based on their experience. Therefore Miasms are dynamic sum of entities. It lives in our bodies. But it could not be alive out of us. It is better to define it as an deviation of our body homeostasis. Remember, when infectious disease experts talked about the transmission of the virus from non-living surfaces during COV-19 pandemia, I could never believe this joke. The reason was very simple, viruses are not alive by themselves. They are just a clever diversion in the reproduction cycle of the living cells of the host body, which leads to the multiplication of the genetic material of the virus.
This is the second character of miasms. They are alive but only in Host bodies, so be careful in dealing with them. It is a mistake to think that you should target their center with antibiotics or antivirals. Of course, this does not mean that they have no physicality. Rather, it means that their constituent elements do not necessarily represent the identity of the miasm. This is the mistake materialist/ physicalists who have not yet understood complex systems theory fall into. According to this theory, a living complex system is formed from the number of elements and relationships between them. Therefore it cannot be considered as the sum of its parts, and a system is always more than its component parts. CST could explain vitality through complexity and complexity through numerous relationships. CST is recently been used in many issues such as consciousness. Miasm is not equells to its components. Therefore, a miasm cannot be cured by taking antiviral drugs. For the same reason, it cannot be said that transmission of the HPV virus to any person causes genital warts, it is not possible to prove or disprove whether a person has genital warts simply by finding or not finding antibodies to the virus in her serum.
