Already for the organogeneous-intra-atomic domain there may be certain analogues. The vital form and the inorganic form of the organogeneous elements (both one way or another corresponding to the states of valency of the atom) are state allomers, two different states, in which it, however, at first cannot be said whether they be strictly static-rigid states or two different domains, within which there are many quantum-mechanically allowed single or deviational states, but with a qualitative correspondency among each other, and a clear boundary against each other, which [boundary] normally, i.e. during the relevant state of affairs, will not be reached, let alone crossed. Because the inorganic state is about a single domain (compare the many energetic states expressing corresponding "structural" states), one may assume this also for the vital state. The parallel doesn't need to be very deep-seated, if only because of the narrow range of temperature with respect to the existence of the vital state. With this, it doesn't matter whether one, in thermic destruction (thermic denaturation) lets the order disintegrate from within, or whether it takes place as a result of contact-transformation from without, i.e. from the cover.
It should be noted that in the organismic, "inside" and "outside" play a significant role, whereas in physical inorganic material bodies it is just about small variations, respectively the always remarkable phenomena of boundary surfaces and edge-layers of solid and liquid inorganic bodies, which phenomena are additionally present in organismic substances.
One may always point to the inner dynamics inside a solution or liquid -- already pure water. Here neutrality toward the outside prevails also in small ranges, whereas the in themselves tremendous micro-effects cancel one another. Especially evident this is in aquous ionic solutions. As to the field-strength of a single ion [an electrically charged atom or atomic group] one finds, according to E = e/r2 DEK, very high values of Volt/cm, causing a correspondingly large directed water-dipole shell (Around every ion there is an area of electrically strongly satisfied water). Macroscopically this isn't visible as a result of mutual internal compensation, and therefore indifference from without. Here there is no phenomenon of specific summation or amplification. In the organismic domain, on the other hand, things are fundamentally different.
