This document discusses biomedical concepts and the concept of biological state. It presents a hierarchy of biological levels from molecules to cells to tissues to organs to organ systems to organisms. It defines concepts like "physical state", "bodily experience", well-being, illness, lesion, pathology, disease, and injury. It notes that disease requires both a pathological lesion and an experience of illness. Different individuals can have different bodily experiences even with the same physical state.

Editor's Notes
- Slide 19 Any number of gradients [] or shapes [] may be feasible depending on the nature of the individual. Indeed, no one line may suffice for the whole of one individual’s life, but may change with time. Furthermore, since the lesion is an integral part of the organic ‘nature of the individual’, then that lesion can be expected to have an effect on the characteristics of the line, too. One thing that drawing things out in this format offers is the idea of considering departures from the line. Instead of assuming that the line is the only way of linking lesions with illness, the idea of a limited space representing an individual’s experience of their physical being is suggested. [] Organic existence is obviously limited and so here, the space delimited by the two axes and a applied boundaries depict the entire experience that is open to the individual.
