The first step to describe it in the offered way is a kind of mathematical formalization which generally may be applied not only to a biological object or process but to any physical phenomenon as well.
Let's define a formal biological age (FBA) of a living organism of a species S as any function in a chosen set x of the organism's parameters that has the following two properties:
1) when considered as a function in the real time t, FBA(x(t)) is analytical while measured in the smallest possible time scope, i.e. each period of time whose length is chosen as small as it's physically possible for not affecting living conditions (though such an impact may be a subject for discussion prior totally completing the definition).
2) for any precise calendar age the mean of FBA(x) equals it on the set of specimens of the given calendar age.
It of course should be taken into consideration how often and in what way we may measure an organism's parameters such that it wouldn't be damaged by that measuring and, in this regard, what set of parameters must be chosen in order to minimize the related damage and be able to take measurements as often as possible. Whatever general method to address this particular problem can be discovered, nature itself had offered an excellent solution which, though strange, is much more successfully applicable to the human than to any other species. The solution literally lies on the surface and obviously must be called an external FBA (EFBA) defined as an FBA whose variables x are based exclusively on the organism's external look and mostly supposed to be photographs of the organism taken from diverse points of view and having as high a resolution as possible. Unlike virtually any other species, in human consciousness/subconsciousness the age of a human body is extremely dependant on its external appearance, i.e. our brains are given a special apparatus for determining biological age via visual information with a pretty high accuracy when it concerns human beings while for any other animals we’re not able to do the same so accurately. In the meantime, taking into account the nature of the informational representation of visual images in our brains which can be expressed via some discrete elementary/atomic patterns roughly corresponding to the pixels of modern digital photographs, one may start understanding that there should exist a mathematical algorithm imitating that apparatus and computing a function in the set of a photograph’s pixels which satisfies the two requirements for an FBA. We had developed such an algorithm whose program realization is available on our site. Using that program, you can start adjusting your lifestyle in order to slow aging in the manner people adjust it for loosing weight. Even though such an adjustment process can be mathematically formalized and then scientifically regulated as well, it’s still already possible to receive results based purely on natural intuition telling us in what direction to change your life habits such that your FBA computed by the program we offer would increase as slowly as possible. Besides, any other anti-aging technology may be verified via testing it on our program what can turn the extremely sofisticated biological problem of finding the best way to fight senescence into merely a mathematical one of continious optimization (assuming this technology has a number of parameters to be optimized) which, whatever complicated it might appear, is supposed to be practically dealt with by a variety of standard gradient-like methods.
