Towards a new physical theory of biotic evolution and development

Motivated by the postulates:(a) has complementary properties: matter waves at high mass density and information oscillations at high information density. ical systems are information generating systems, i.e., genome capacity to generate developmental functional complexity (phenotype). ical information sustains the living state. cuss a definite model in which the life state of an organism, for successive generations, is a generalized Schrِdingerʹs type of system which is non-conservative, nonlinear and irreversible. Vitality, the state variable, is the genome capacity to generate developmental functional complexity (phenotype). It is a function of the phenotypic variables of biological information, i.e., matter-energy growth function, life expectancy and natality. o discuss evolution within this model. We find that the evolution of a unicellular organism, being a process through which the life function undertakes negative damping, leads to the increase of total vitality. Total vitality is a function of the systemʹs lifespan, bio-complexity and total matter-energy metabolized or body mass. Total vitality is quantized. The derived quantization relationship provides plausible theoretical basis for punctuated equilibrium. Total bio-information (total vitality + total natality density) is conserved. The conserved quantity describes evolution and generates ecosystem, population and organism growth dynamics. Vitality has the dimension of flow-bits. Finally, a thought experiment is proposed to falsify the hypothesis.
