Abstract. The present paper brings to the medical
specialists’ attention a possibility of multivalent imagistic investigation –
the palmar electrographic method submitted to a totally new analysis by the
fractal method. Its support for information recording is the radiosensitive
film. This makes it resemble the radiological investigation, which opened the
way of correlating the shape of certain structures of the organism with their
function. By the specific electromagnetic impressing of the ultra
photosensitive film,palmar electrography has the advantage of catching the
shape of certain radiative phenomena, generated by certain structures in their
functional dynamics – at the level of the human palmar tegument. This makes it
resemble the EEG, EKG and EMG investigations. The purpose of this presentation
is to highlight a new modality of studying the states of the human organism in
its permanent adaptation to the living environment, using a new
anthropological, informational vision – by fractal processing and by the couple
of concepts system / interface – much closer to reality than the present
systemic thinking. The human palm, which has a special medical-anthropological
relevance, is analysed as a complex adaptive biological and socio-cultural
interface between the internal and external environment. The fractal phenomena
recorded on the image are ubicuitary in nature and especially in the living
world [1,2,3,4] and their shapes may be described mathematically and used for
decoding their informational laws. They may have very usefulimplications in the
medical act. The paper presents a few introductory elements to the fractal
theory, and, in the final part, the pursued objectives are concretely shown by
grouping the EG images according to certain more important
medical-anthropological themes.
