THE ORIGIN OF MEMORY AND THE GENETIC APPARATUS: THE CELL NUCLEUS, RNA/DNA, AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE PHASE TOPOLOGY OF WATER

Open access0 citations

Abstract

Water is not just a solvent, but a dynamic three-dimensional grid that is inherently capable of creating memories of past events. In this article, we show how transient deformations of the water lattice gave rise to cellular memory, followed by RNA, DNA, and the nucleus. We trace the path from chaotic water outside the cell to ordered water inside the cell and the formation of the nucleus, from random fixations of events (tetrasignatura) to stable condensate cycles, from the physical memory of water to the carbon fixation of this memory in the molecules of heredity RNA/DNA. This is not "information" or "code" – this is the physics that organized life due to the unique features of water.
