Understanding Living Systems presents an integrated approach, covering mathematics, physics, computer science, biology and medicine. In this novel approach, the physiological structure is modeled at the level of n-categories (n-categories, n-functors, n-natural transformations, n-adjunctions etc.), the dynamics is modeled at the level of (n+h)-categories, and the evolution is modeled at the level of (n+h+k)categories. The pathological structure is modeled at the level of n-categories (n+n')-categories, the pathological repaired dynamics is modeled at the level of (n+n' + h+h')-categories and the pathological evolution is modeled at the level of (n+n' + h+ h' + k+k')-categories.

This new approach advances the field of computational modeling for biomedical engineers, computer scientists, physicians and mathematical researchers.
