“…A measurement within the atomic domain must necessarily be described by quantum mechanics itself. The reasoning that a quantum mechanical measuring instrument must be macroscopic lest the result of a measurement can be recorded in an indelible way (Belinfante [226]), not to be annihilated by quantum fluctuations, and for this reason must be within the domain of classical mechanics, refers only to part of the truth, and, perhaps, not even to the most important part. Perhaps even more important is that a quantum mechanical measuring instrument be designed in such a way that it is sensitive to the microscopic information contained in the object, and is able to transfer this information from the microscopic level to the macroscopic level of direct observation.…”

“…maps onto the "virtual" network this reversed assignation. The above mentioned causal break by the quantum measurements [4] is thus eliminated internally from the system: the causal break raised, as an ultimate process, a self -constructing regressive (real -time) time inversion symmetry restoring. The latter is internal to the system, proceeding towards the only available quasi -"causal" time direction, the past.…”

“…1.. Our corresponding only, but basic, hypothesis is that from protozoa on to humans, they perform "quantum measurements" in this particular sense. We show that for the chemical evolutional emergence of semiotic controls, elementarily the genetic code, a quantum measurement causal break had to come about as it is usual, e. g. [4], but with the following process(es) acting as regressively self -constructing, upbuilding, real -time time inversion symmetry restoring.…”

Abstract:In this paper we hope to place the two basic facts of life, constant active self -maintenance and selfreproduction, into a fresh light. The basic idea is considering the genetic assignments as a "biological invariant of motion", the latter forming a hierarchically produced, "self -constructing", regressive time inversion symmetry restoration, a closed semantic real -time upbuilding loop. It is, actually, the predetermined future of the biological system. It is this, in fact, what gives birth to the above strange fact of determined self -maintenance and, as its derived consequence, "self" -reproduction, as the symmery attained. It is carried out in a mediated, "weak" self -reference loop, as a natural prerequisite for the invariance of the genetic code as a "biological invariant of motion". Being an involved and dubious case, as it is usual, we mainly concentrate on its origin. We suppose a special type of quantum measurement as the original assignation mechanism, with a usual concomitant time inversion symmetry breaking. Symmetry restoring, in fact, is a semiotic control process of the genetic code, the process tentatively conceived to be the living (biological) state of matter.

“…The mappings define, as functions to functions operators, the assignations as quantum mechanically correlated and conserved outcomes of the special object/device (and record and memory) relations; hence we term them "assignation operators". The necessary break in causality, rising in every ordinary, also in mixed measurements (e.g., [18]; Section 3.1.2. ), probably had a pay-off in a short period of chemical evolution in favor of internal causality.…”

A novel, alternative and deeper view to the "selfish gene" paradigm is presented, describable as the "selfish code" frame. Introducing it, we put forth a quantum mechanical algorithm as a new description of the intracellular protein synthetizing machinery. The successive steps of the algorithm are, tentatively, semiotic constraints of the well-known quantum mechanical molecular "internal measurement" type. It is proposed that this molecular algorithm mediates a quantum mechanical time reversed dynamics with a primordial special version of this latter molecular measurement type ("mixed measurement") as its origin. It is furthermore suggested that this intracellular regressive algorithmical dynamics is a component of biological "motion", the other, strongly coupled component being the macroscopic phenotypic motion. The biological "invariant of motion" of this hierarchically coupled overall generalized dynamics is suggested to be the evolutionally converged invariant genetic code vocabulary. It forms, possibly, the underlying internal "driving force" of evolution, as being "struggle for life".
