The Constrained Disorder Principle: Beyond Biological Allostasis

Ofek Adar, Josef Daniel Shakargy, Yaron Ilan · Biology · 2025

The constrained disorder principle (CDP) defines complex biological systems based on inherent variability. Allostasis refers to the physiological processes that help maintain stability in response to changing environmental demands. Allostatic load describes the cumulative wear and tear on the body resulting from prolonged exposure to stress, and it has been suggested to mediate the relationship between stress and disease. This study presents the concepts of CDP and allostasis while discussing their similarities and differences. We reviewed the current literature on the potential benefits of introducing controlled doses of biological noise into interventions, which may enhance the effectiveness of therapies. The paper highlights the promising role of variability provided by a CDP-based second-generation artificial intelligence system in improving health outcomes.
