4 Some Biochemical Reflections on Information and Communication

level, we end up with a genotypic position. Nevertheless, the teleonomic dynamics,
i.e. the view of biology as a goal-directed evolution according to the operation of
a program inevitably puts a more complete answer closer to the scientific borders
between physics, metaphysics and philosophy. Not only do we hypothesize whether
macro- and micro evolution are instigated by the same process, but in addition, even
if we believe that the answer should be “yes”, the unattainable question arise, viz.
when and how did the origin of life emerge in the universe? The answer that we
want to communicate in this article, i.e. an assertion at the highest branch of evolution, as is presently known, without religious implications, complies with Fig. 4.3,
containing an extended forethought of Fig. 4.1, in the introduction, to the socio-,
ecological- and cosmological rank.
In the present investigation it is stressed as well that a different contention or
query has been made, i.e. rather than asking the problematical question: what is
consciousness, we have attempted to delineate a more specific problem; i.e. what
distinguishes animate from inanimate behaviour. Obviously our analysis gives a
valid picture of continual evolutionary transitions, entailing decoherence protection, with physical observables represented by operators and their conjugate ones
[11–13, 37]. Surprisingly these properties do not only show up at the microscopic
biological arena, but also on the cosmic level, see more on this below. Hence the
origin of life, although of great interest as far as discovering its first indicators, is
already an intrinsic property of a Heraclitean universe.
In the present scenario, Fig. 4.3, it has been added, to the individual level of an
organism, the “larger” portrait, exploiting communication between life forms, their
interaction with the terrestrial environment, and finally the universal cosmological
echelon, as understood today. Also the development or evolution of social structures
based on sophisticated meme-like “codes of codes”, like mathematics, linguistics,
fine arts, music etc. have been examined as well as providing metaphors like tuning forks etc., in anticipation of other phonon-induced communications. For more
