QED coherence in matter, syntropy and the coherent domains as storing “devices”

Abstract

Several macroscopic systems, like in particular living organisms, are characterized by stability and high level of order at mesoscopic / macroscopic scale. These peculiar features cannot be explained by considering just short-range interactions among their elementary constituents (atoms / molecules) and the entropic dynamics governing it. The theory of QED coherence predicts that in condensed matter, when suitable boundary conditions about temperature and density are satisfied (as generally happens in living systems), a quantum phase transition spontaneously occurs, driving the system towards a macroscopic coherent quantum state in which phase tuned oscillations between matter and electromagnetic field take place and ensure long-range correlation and order. In 1944, the italian mathematician Luigi Fantappie formulated the “Principi di una teoria unitaria del mondo fisico e biologico”, according to which living systems are governed by “syntropic” spontaneous phenomena, that are dual with respect the “entropic” ones, characterized by a reduction of entropy with time and whose causes are put in the future with respect the occurring events, able to ensure the organization and stability of living systems. In this paper we show how the results of QED coherence in matter are able to reproduce several of the main features of “syntropic” dynamics so giving it a support based on Quantum Field Theory. Finally, the role of water as a gatherer of quantum information, predicted by the QED coherence theory, is discussed as a possible practical realization of syntropic dynamics.
