  Robert Rosen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert Rosen (June 27, 1934, Brooklyn, New York - December 28, 1998, Rochester, New York) was an American theoretical biologist and, later in life, a Professor of Biophysics at Dalhousie University until he retired.
Another major theme in the work of Robert Rosen was the clarification of the notion of the scientific model.
Based on this thesis, Rosen says that is impossible to find either an algorithm that can calculate the three-dimensional conformation of a protein directly or the active site of it, although he made absolutely no attempt to formalize the problem in such a manner that would be required to prove such a claim.

 Theoretical ecology
Theoretical biologist Robert Rosen tackled this question but reframed it in the process.
Rosen and Ulanowicz share the view that an understanding of life is not something readily gained by extension or extrapolation of a mechanical approach to systems.
Instead, each has worked to develop a new paradigm that differs from the mechanical paradigm and then has attempted to demonstrate how this new paradigm is better for understanding and explaining the special properties and dynamics that life exhibits.

 Robert Rosen's Nowhere Man: The Final Days of John Lennon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
What Rosen did was not to copy but to transcribe the journals, over a period of six weeks, in which he consciously tried to live as much as he could in John Lennon's mind.
So Rosen says, "The result of this confluence of information, imagination and intuition is the story of what it was like to be John Lennon." Thus, the subject is exactly the same as Seaman's, but Rosen attempts to write it from the inside.
Rosen's book, like Seaman's, offers plenty of food for thought on the ever-useful themes of trusting the tale and not the teller, the song and not the singer.

Rosen, who was then on vacation, returned the next month to find that his apartment had been ransacked--the diaries, transcripts, tapes, and photos all gone.
The affection he had for his son was obviously genuine, yet it was a relationship dogged by insecurity on the part of Lennon, who was gripped by anxiety when the two had a dispute, fearing the loss of his son's affection.
Instead, according to Rosen, the recording ultimately left him depressed by what he considered to be a mediocre effort, while the thought of future touring and recording clearly left him unenthusiastic.
