In order to build cells capable of responding adaptively to environmental cues, elaborate signaling networks have evolved capable of reliably, transducing energy from the environment into internal informational states of the cell.
Robustness arises as a byproduct of statistical order in biology as individual components are frequently correlated in their activity, and this can be exploited as a source of redundancy.

 Order theory
Order theory is a branch of mathematics that studies various kinds of binary relations that capture the intuitive notion of a mathematical ordering.
The first order that one typically meets in primary school mathematical education is the order ≤ of natural numbers.
These are graphss where the vertices are the elements of the poset and the ordering relation is indicated by both the edges and the relative positioning of the vertices.

The word "isomorphism" applies when two complex structures can be mapped onto each other, in such a way that to each part of one structure there is a corresponding part in the other structure, where "corresponding" means that the two parts play similar roles in their respective structures.
Isomorphic structures are "the same" at a certain level of abstraction; ignoring the specific identities of the elements in the underlying sets and the names of the underlying relations, the two structures are identical.

In mathematical order theory, an order-embedding is aspecial kind of monotone function, which provides a way toinclude one partially ordered set into another.
Yet, the two posets are not isomorphic: [-1,1] has both a least and a greatestelement, which are not present in the case of the real numbers.

 Station Information - Total order
In mathematics, a total order or linear order on a set X is a binary relation that is reflexive, antisymmetric, transitive and total.
Because a binary relation that is reflexive, antisymmetric and transitive is called a partial order, a total order can also be defined as a partial order that is total.
Alternatively, one may define a totally ordered set as a particular kind of lattice, namely one in which we have {a v b, a ^ b} = {a, b} for all a, b.

Such a one-to-one correspondence is called an order isomorphism and the two well-ordered sets are said to be order-isomorphic.
One example of these is an important characterization of the order relation between ordinals: every set of ordinals has a supremum, the ordinal obtained by taking the union of all the ordinals in the set.
An ordinal is finite if and only if the opposite order is also well-ordered, which is the case if and only if each of its subsets has a greatest element.

if one poset is order isomorphic to the dual of the other.
If a given statement is valid for all partially ordered sets, then its dual statement, obtained by inverting the direction of all order relations and by dualizing all order theoretic definitions involved, is also valid for all partially ordered sets.
Note that the consideration of dual orders is so fundamental that it often occurs implicitly when writing ≥ for the dual order of ≤ without giving any prior definition of this "new" symbol.

 A resemblance theory of representational content determination
The isomorphism is first-order because the corresponding properties between the two entities are of corresponding kinds: colours correspond to colours, lengths and shapes correspond to lengths and shapes (subject to perspective), and so on.
However, in a second-order isomorphism the corresponding properties need not be of the same kind, as in the size of a star-shape corresponding to the relative brightness of a star.
Evidently it is not a relation of first-order isomorphism, nor structural isomorphism, although there obviously does exist an isomorphic relation that maps between the two.

A representational scheme under which the ranking between represented similarities is isomorphic to the ranking between the corresponding shape similarities can support perfectly correct shape classification, because it preserves the clustering of shapes according to the natural kinds prevailing in the external world.
That space turns out to support representation of distal shape similarities which is veridical in the sense of Shepard's (1968) notion of second-order isomorphism (i.e., correspondence between distal and proximal similarities among shapes, rather than between distal shapes and their proximal representations).

An examination of visual-touch perceptual equivalence, visual-touch imaginal equivalence and second-order isomorphism of perceptions and images using common texture stimuli.
Although visual and tactile images were highly congruent, they do appear to be independent for at least some stimuli, suggesting that people can form images based primarily on one modality or the other.
These findings converge with reports of second-order isomorphism for visual perceptions and images of shape and color information and extend those findings to include texture information as well as to include second-order isomorphism of tactile images and perceptions for texture information.
