In this monograph, some principal remarks on the construction of nanosystems are made. Self-organizing processes in connection with the basic laws of theoretical physics are analyzed. The present world view, on which present physics is based, has been discussed critically. The strategy of nature in the design of life and some basic results of behavior research are included.
