Has anyone noticed cell division has interphase, which consists of three main phases before division?
Why isn't this seen as bifurcation? Does Feigenbaum's constant come into play?
Do cells multiply after three cycles because math considers them mathematical objects at that size and forces them to follow a bifurcation diagram? They seem to be mathematical objects even if observed/decohered.

Why isn't this seen as bifurcation?
In a chaotic system, a bifurcation event is often heralded by "period doubling".
Even though bacteria double when they divide, this is quite unlike period doubling in chaotic systems.

Has anyone noticed cell division has interphase, which consists of three main phases before division?
Have you noticed that eukaryotic cell division has 6 phases, only one of which is interphase?
- Other cell types presumably have different processes...
The number 3 may be a case of confirmation bias.

Does Feigenbaum's constant come into play?
The thread espousing this New Theory based this New Constant on approximate powers of the number pi.
Since cells are only approximately spherical, the number pi is only approximately relevant.
And Powers of pi are not relevant at all.
