versus irreversible behaviour and the associated process of self-organization will
be considered by referring to a sub-dynamics formulation microscopically embedded in QM, while at the same time employing mathematically rigorous dilation
techniques [15].
The necessary requirement, i.e. that derived master equations should be commensurate with the generation of a positive preserving contractive semigroups [20] will be
reassessed. The section is devoted to modern advances in chemical physics establishing a consistent dissipative evolution incorporating temperature as well as adaptable
time scales [21]. A surprising implication of the thermalization process [17, 21] and
the instigation of spatiotemporal closure, is the materialization of a Gödel-like selfreferential rule that acts as a guide for non-random chemical pathways opening up
primary information-rich correlations. The conditio sine qua non is a unitary transformation that brings the complex symmetric reduced density matrix to classical
canonical form
4 commensurate with a proper stochastic time evolution of the CES.
The following sections ensure a positive answer prepared in terms of an authenticated
communication hypothesis based on primary teleonomic evolution processes, originally considered and redefined by Mayr
5 [22]. The thermodynamic consequences
of molecular communication on the genetic level and beyond will be considered
and analysed. The question of teleonomy in biology, reviewed at length in Monod’s
classic essay
6 Chance and Necessity [23], is elucidated, discussed and reinforced
as an objective fundamental natural law [24]. This result is of principal importance
since it demonstrates that the self-referential property of the sub-dynamical extension induces a teleonomic character to evolution constituting a vital background
for bridging the original logical gap in abiogenesis linking also evolution with consciousness. This is not in conflict with the thought-provoking discussions recorded
in the recent book Quantum Aspects of Life [25]. The panel, although missing input
from quantum chemistry and chemical physics, suggested that there should be some
sort of quantum-physics-life-principle at work. This, with hindsight, supports, see
e.g. footnotes 5–6, an unavoidable teleological component.

The structure of this essay should also reflect the significance of quantum mechanics, QM, as proven in connection with technology, biology, evolution, life, consciousness, the Universe and the possible appearance of quantum black hole entities,
QBH.
4 These thermally excited modes are identified as Jordan blocks, converting states to sequences of
transitions.
5 Mayr introduced teleonomic processes, on par, but thus far not accounted for, by known physical
laws, as follows: A teleonomic process or behaviour is one that owes its goal-directedness to the
influence of an evolved program.
6 Monod struggled with an epistemological contradiction, i.e. objectivity set against the need for
teleonomy in biology stating: In fact the central problem of biology lies within this contradiction.
7 The discussion took place at the Canary Islands in 2004, while the transcripts did not appear in
print until 2008, see [25] and in particular the contributions by Paul Davies and Howard Wiseman.
