Scientific paper

In recent we introduced, developed and established a new concept, model, methodology and principle for studying human longevity in terms of demographic basis. We call the new model the "Weon model", which is a general model modified from the Weibull model with an age-dependent shape parameter to describe human survival and mortality curves. We demonstrate the application of the Weon model to the mortality dynamics and the mathematical limit of longevity (the mortality rate to be mathematically zero, implying a maximum longevity) in the Section I. The mathematical limit of longevity can be induced by the mortality dynamics in nature. As a result, we put forward the complementarity principle, which explains the recent paradoxical trends that the mathematical limit decreases as the longevity increases, in the Section II. Our findings suggest that the human longevity can be limited by the complementarity principle.
