Biological universality yields new kind of laws
Abstract
Description
Biological approximations, which are universal for diverse species, are well known. With no other experimental data, their invariance to transformations from one species to another yields exact conservation (with respect to biological diversity and evolutionary history) laws, which are inconsistent with known physics and unique for self-organized live systems. The laws predict two and only two universal ways of biological diversity and evolution; their singularities; a new kind of rapid (compared to lifespan) adaptation and reversible mortality, which may be directed. Predictions agree with experimental data, and call for new concepts, insights, and microscopic theory.
