The real analysis served as the mathematical basis of Newtonian mechanics (Newton, 1687)<ref>Newton Isaac. Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica.1687, Ed. Benjamin Motte, London UK</ref> (and later Hamiltonian formalism); classical statistical mechanics stimulated the measure-theoretic approach to probability theory, formalized in Kolmogorov’s axiomatics (Kolmogorov, 1933)<ref>Kolmogorov A.N.Grundbegriffe Der Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung. Springer-Verlag, Berlin (1933)</ref>. However, behavior of biological systems differ essentially from behavior of mechanical systems, say rigid bodies, gas molecules, or fluids. Therefore, although the “classical mathematics” still plays the crucial role in biological modeling, it seems that it cannot fully describe the rich complexity of biosystems and peculiarities of their behavior — as compared with mechanical systems. New mathematical methods for modeling biosystems are on demand.(a,b) | ||
In this paper, we present the applications of the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics and its methodology to modeling biosystems’ behavior.(c) The recent years were characterized by explosion of interest to applications of quantum theory outside of physics, especially in cognitive psychology, decision making, information processing in the brain, molecular biology, genetics and epigenetics, and evolution theory.4 We call the corresponding models ''quantum-like''. They are not directed to micro-level modeling of real quantum physical processes in biosystems, say in cells or brains (cf. with biological applications of genuine quantum physical theory Penrose 1989,<ref>Penrose R.

Quantum-like modeling works from the viewpoint to quantum theory as a measurement theory. This is the original Bohr’s viewpoint that led to ''the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics'' (see Plotnitsky, 2009<ref>Plotnitsky A.

One of the main bio-specialties is consideration of ''self-measurements that biosystems perform on themselves.'' In our modeling, the ability to perform self-measurements is considered as the basic feature of biological functions (see Section 8.2 and paper Khrennikov et al., 2018<ref name=":Khrennikov A., Basieva I., PothosE.M., Yamato I.">Khrennikov A., Basieva I., PothosE.M., Yamato I.
