contradicts established science— The claim itself is physically incoherent or contradicted by replication; the underlying hardware may be ordinary electronics.
A genuine early scientific attempt whose central claim — UV photons signalling mitosis at a distance — was contradicted by replication. The real visible-range UPE substrate survives and is credited under Biophoton / UPE.
Origin & lineage
Gurvitch (1923, Tavrida University, Simferopol — Crimean ASSR within the RSFSR); Kaznacheev (Novosibirsk, 1960s–80s).
Claimed mechanism
Cells emit UV photons that signal mitosis / pathology at a distance (morphogenetic field).
Plausibility
Weak / implausible — UV mitogenetic signalling was never validated.
Evidence — grade F
Langmuir classed it 'pathological science' (1953); ~500 negative replications.
Cross-reference
Biophoton / UPE (the real visible-range substrate is credited there).

Kernel — keep vs set aside
Keep — real substrate
Visible-range UPE is real (credited under Biophoton / UPE).
Set aside — claim
UV-mitogenetic signalling and morphogenetic-field theory are contradicted by replication.
Regulatory status by jurisdiction
Registration or clearance is a market-access fact, never proof of efficacy.
