The possible role of coherence in highly diluted and succussed aqueous solutions

Abstract

The historical problem of potentized (homeopathic, spagiric and other) remedies deals with their chemical-physical plausibility, i.e.: a consistent physical (molecular or electromagnetic) description have not yet been worked out and shared in scientific contexts [1]. I think that this difficulty pertains to the "generally accepted view of condensed matter" (to quote our mourned Giuliano Preparata [2]) and water condensed phases. Until we stay attached to a local, corpuscular and short-ranged description of matter (and of water, mainly) we won't be able to conceive the emergence of complex collective dynamics and their phenomenological outcomes. These are engendered by non-trivial ground states of the aqueous system in consequence both of its intrinsic nature and of the treatments to which it is subjected during dynamization. In this lecture I'll try, through a Quantum Electro-Dynamic (QED) theoretical framework [3,4,5], to sketch out the main features which let us envision liquid water as a two-phase system, where coherence is the basis both for its condensedness and for its ability to maintain long-lasting and far-from-equilibrium states able to non-randomly evolve in time through dissipative dynamics, and to understand the physical nature and properties of potentized remedies. Further comments about a likewise important question will be shared: how and why living matter is able to respond to such a kind of (possibly therapeutic) stimulations? [6,7]
