由简单的纳米级构件组成的复杂的分级结构形成了大多数生物材料的基础。在这里,我们展示了看似不同的领域之间的类比如何使人们能够理解分层系统中出现的功能特性的一般原则,类似于类比学习过程。具体来说,像蜘蛛丝这样的自然分层材料在其分层结构和功能方面表现出与古典音乐相当的特性。作为一种比较工具,在这里,我们应用遵循基于范畴论的严格数学公式的分层本体日志,通过在概念图中表达知识来提供有洞察力的系统表示。我们解释了类比创造的过程,在几个层次上绘制连接,并确定类似的模式,管理层次系统丝绸和音乐的结构,并讨论了纳米技术的派生类比的影响。
Complex hierarchical structures composed of simple nanoscale building blocks form the basis of most biological materials. Here, we demonstrate how analogies between seemingly different fields enable the understanding of general principles by which functional properties in hierarchical systems emerge, similar to an analogy learning process. Specifically, natural hierarchical materials like spider silk exhibit properties comparable to classical music in terms of their hierarchical structure and function. As a comparative tool, here, we apply hierarchical ontology logs that follow a rigorous mathematical formulation based on category theory to provide an insightful system representation by expressing knowledge in a conceptual map. We explain the process of analogy creation, draw connections at several levels of hierarchy, and identify similar patterns that govern the structure of the hierarchical systems silk and music and discuss the impact of the derived analogy for nanotechnology.
