TOWARD CULTURAL ONCOLOGY: THE EVOLUTIONARY INFORMATION DYNAMICS OF CANCER

Wilson’s essential trick is to iterate on this relation, which is supposed to
converge rapidly [9, 60], assuming that for K_R near K_C , we take

Ke/2 ≈ Kc + (K - Ke)R^zf (R)^y.

(13)

We next proceed in two steps, first solving this for f(R) in terms of known
values, and then solving for R, finding a value R_c which we then substitute
into the first of equations (3) to obtain an expression for H [K, 0] in terms of
known functions and parameter values.

The first step gives the general result

[(KC∕(KC - K))]^1/y
21/y RC/y
c

(14)

Solving this for Rc and substituting into the first of equation(3) gives

χ(K, 0) ≈ χ(Ke/2,0)Re = χoRe
