Again, I very strongly recommend Rosen's book "Life Itself" for the mathematics behind first and final cause in biological models.

Mathematical models can only be as good as the your understanding of what's being modeled. I don't believe anyone even knows what all the possible variables are yet. Claiming to have a mathematical model seems a little premature.

Not premature. Rosen extended the Shannon model (the base model for information theory) which has been used successfully in pharmaceutical and cancer research. Basically Shannon's was an open model and Rosen closed the circle, entailing function/purpose in biological systems.
