Life—Stabilization of the Unstable Through Controlling Influence of Quantum Information

The equivalence of matter and energy can be generalized within the framework of quantum theory by establishing the simplest mathematically possible quantum structures, the AQIs (bits of absolute quantum information) of the Protyposis. The AQIs are cosmologically defined bits of absolute quantum information: quantum information “free-of-dedicated-or-special-meaning.” Most of the structures forming from the AQIs are what is called “matter” or “energy” in natural sciences. However, some of the AQIs can appear as properties of the respective quantum particles, and even—as a result of processing in a living being—acquire what can be interpreted as meaning. This incorporation of information within the realm of scientific quantities has made it possible to characterize life as the ability of unstable systems to self-stabilize by control based on intelligent information processing.
