All complex living organisms consist of two interconnected domains — information and energy (the brain and the systems of internal and external mobility of the body). Adaptation to the external environment is based on the perception and processing of information. The external actions of the organism are the result of the influence of the information system on the energy system. The cost of exchange transactions between the bodys domains can be defined as the biophysical multiplier effect, in which there is an oscillatory exchange of energy quanta for quanta of the bodys characteristic action time. This cost varies during ontogenesis from childhood to old age. This explains age-related changes in the scales of perception of time and space intervals.
