In physiological research, inductive reasoning has traditionally been the rule, rather than the exception. This is because mathematical formulations of human body function inevitably lead to indeterminate situations where there are more unknown quantities than there are equations to describe them. This paper discusses a deductive approach to the study of human body dynamics, where the indeterminateness is usually associated with the presence of
