We have proceeded to establish a teleonomic approach to describe strongly correlated biological systems with germane time scales at precise temperatures. The thesis
extends fundamental correlations, via entropy production and the performance of a
Universal Device, with the objective to set up communication between Complex
Enough Systems, CES’s. U D(n), subjected to Communication Simpliciter, operates under a Poissonian Call-Centre stochastic background, where the syntax and
possibly pragmatics,
74 provide authentic physical channels for exchange of information. Examples of biological U D(n)’s are cells, organs, brains, human beings, cities,
societies and black holes.
An essential ingredient of the quantum-chemistry-life principle is a physical rule
that maps the self-referential Gödel-like formulation onto a higher order singularity
through a logical negation and its associated bias table, which converted to a complex
symmetric matrix, exhibits irreducible block diagonal matrices with Segré characteristic larger than one.
75 Extensions to high dimensional CES’s suggest the appearance
of such Jordan blocks of arbitrary high orders leading to the transformations B
† and
B. It has also been demonstrated that the dimension of these transformations provides
a quality index n for the U D(n), such as a cell defining its position in the hierarchy
of the organism. Furthermore B conjectures a coding protocol for Communication
Simpliciter [17, 92, 95, 100], including an elemental rendition of our brain functions
as expressed by the Necker cube illusion and the paradox of upside-down vision [92].
As Darwinism supports the evolution of awareness, perception, cognition, feelings
and emotions, i.e. consciousness, a brief mentioning of David Chalmers
76 distinction
between the so-called Hard Problems and the Easy ones might have been on its place
[104]. Solving the latter, see above, will no doubt contribute to understanding the
former, nevertheless this philosophical question is best left elsewhere.
Our second, likewise significant, aim has been, not just to address QM as a
default option, but rather to demonstrate its fundamental importance in current areas
such as technology, biology, evolution, life, consciousness, and the Universe. Our
final conclusion is that the second law of thermodynamics, commensurate with the
evolution of life bearing processes, cannot explain abiogenesis within the existing
paradigms of physics. This necessitates a quantum-chemistry-life-principle with a
built-in self-referential physical law as derived and demonstrated here.
Acknowledgements I am grateful to the Chair of QSCP XXIII, Prof. Liliana Mammino, and the
Co-Chair Jean Maruani for generously allowing me to present this work in the present proceedings
from the meeting. My indebtedness for constructive suggestions and recommendations goes to
Prof. Alia Tadjer and Prof. Jean Maruani. This work has over time been supported by the Swedish
Natural Science Research Council, the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research, The European
Commission and the Nobel Foundation.
74 Note that communication is here taken in a restricted sense in concert with the concept of
semiology which excludes semantics, one of three components of semiotics, see also [24, 92].
75 Regarding self-references and Gödel see footnotes 65, 66, 68 and in particular chapter 4 in [95].
76 Note that Chalmers’ concept of the Hard Problem presupposes a dualistic attitude. Various recent
suggestions display ‘the long and winding road’ from monism to dualism.
