 He also states that the complexity of the cybernetic network in living beings is far too complex to study by the overall behavior of whole organisms.At the start of chapter five, "Molecular Ontogenesis," Monod states he will show that the process of spontaneous autonomous morphogenesis depends upon "the sterospecific recognition properties of proteins; that it is primarily a microscopic process before manifesting itself in macroscopic structures.Finally, it is the primary structure of proteins that we shall consult for the 'secret' to those cognitive properties thanks to which, like Maxwell's demons, they animate and build living systems" (Monod 81).
