Abstract
A novel, alternative and deeper view to the “selfish gene” paradigm is presented, describable as the “selfish code” frame. Introducing it, we put forth a quantum mechanical algorithm as a new description of the intracellular protein synthetizing machinery. The successive steps of the algorithm are, tentatively, semiotic constraints of the well-known quantum mechanical molecular “internal measurement” type. It is proposed that this molecular algorithm mediates a quantum mechanical time reversed dynamics with a primordial special version of this latter molecular measurement type (“mixed measurement”) as its origin. It is furthermore suggested that this intracellular regressive algorithmical dynamics is a component of biological “motion”, the other, strongly coupled component being the macroscopic phenotypic motion. The biological “invariant of motion” of this hierarchically coupled overall generalized dynamics is suggested to be the evolutionally converged invariant genetic code vocabulary. It forms, possibly, the underlying internal “driving force” of evolution, as being “struggle for life”.
Highlights
It is easy to see that the former is based on the latter, and the proper classicality/quantum mechanical nature is due to the fact that phenotypic motion is, in the ultimate analysis, an internally quantally generated external classical process
The global integrated inhibition/release, classical phenotypic biological motion is the result of an underlying fundamental quantum mechanical dynamical coupling of similar internal inhibition/release quantal genetical processes
It was shown in this paper that a more natural “selfish-code” concept can be deduced as an alternative to the “selfish-gene” paradigm [1]. This was tentatively achieved by defining the abstract-symbolical genetic code vocabulary as a special elementary biological invariant of the internal/external motion, i.e., of a generalized dynamics
Summary
Complementing the discussion, we infer that the set of “abstract” genetic codes, as a vocabulary of signs, by its control-mediating nonlinear molecular hardware, is just an invariant of the above generalized dynamics (Section 2.2.) This is due to the mediating material macromolecular algorithm of protein synthesis and the higher level phenotypic “motion”, being a biological agent which nonlinearly permanently fixes its own initial conditions through the action of the genotype and phenotype (see [16]; Section 5.3.). In this way, this multi-level nonlinear generalized dynamics might allow, in ultimate terms, the code vocabulary to be a true quantum dynamic group-invariant of a product group of a special supersymmetry Lie-group of the genetic code assignments, and a unique group of a dynamical nature
