Resumo: This article presents a systematic framework for modeling several classes of illness-sickness-disease named as Holopathogenesis. Holopathogenesis is defined as processes of over-determination of diseases and related conditions taken as a whole, comprising selected facets of the complex object Health. First, a conceptual background of Holopathogenesis is presented as a series of significant interfaces (biomolecular-immunological, physiopathological-clinical, epidemiological-ecosocial). Second, propositions derived from Holopathogenesis are introduced in order to allow drawing the disease-illness-sickness complex as a hierarchical network of networks. Third, a formalization of intra- and inter-level correspondences, over-determination processes, effects and links of Holopathogenesis models is proposed. Finally, the Holopathogenesis frame is evaluated as a comprehensive theoretical pathology taken as a preliminary step towards a unified theory of health-disease.

Holopatogênese é definido como um processo de sobre-determinação de doenças e condições relacionadas, tomadas como um integral, compreendendo facetas selecionadas da saúde enquanto objeto complexo. Em primeiro lugar, o marco conceitual da Holopatogênese é apresentado como uma série de três interfaces significativas: biomolecular-imunológica, fisiopatológico-clínica e epidemiológico-ecossocial. Em segundo lugar, proposições derivadas da Holopatogênese são introduzidas a fim de permitir o desenho do complexo doença-enfermidade como uma rede hierárquica de redes. Em terceiro lugar, propõe-se uma formalização de correspondências intra- e inter-nível, processos de sobredeterminação, efeitos e laços componentes da Holopatogênese. Finalmente, o modelo Holopatogênese é avaliado como uma patologia teórica compreensiva tomada como passo preliminar para uma teoria unificada de saúde-doença.Universidade de São Paulo.
