At the heart of the physics of living systems is the struggle against entropy. Amundson’s work often touches on how biological entities maintain a state of "far-from-equilibrium" stability.

Amundson’s work suggests that "the physics of living" acts as a filter. Before natural selection can even "see" a trait, that trait must first be physically possible to build during an embryo's development. 2. Structuralism and the "Bauplan" : Used physical copies are frequently listed on
For much of the 20th century, the "Modern Synthesis" treated organisms as "black boxes." You put a mutation in, and if it worked, selection kept it. Amundson argued that this ignored the "physics" of the box itself.
