Definitions Of Earth Life, Organism And Gene

Proposed Definitions Of Earth Life, Organism And Gene

Earth Life: 1. a format of temporarily constrained energy, retained in temporary constrained genetic energy packages in forms of genes, genomes and organisms 2. a real virtual affair that pops in and out of existence in its matrix, which is the energy constrained in Earth's biosphere.

Earth organism: a temporary self-replicable constrained-energy genetic system that supports and maintains Earth's biosphere by maintenance of genes.

Gene: a primal Earth's organism.

My life definitions have evolved:

A Scientific, NOT TECHNOLOGICAL, Life-Science Innovation

Tomorrow's Comprehension Of Life And Its Evolution

INTRIGUING DARWINIAN IMPLICATIONS

INTRIGUING TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS POTENTIAL

Look at these life definitions, reflect about their Darwinian implications...

The Nature, Origin And Function Of Earth Life

Nature of Earth life: a replicating construction temporarily constraining and maintaining energy.

Origin of Earth life: serendipitous energy-induced formation of Earth's primal organisms, individual independent genes.

Nature of Earth's organisms: temporary self-replicable constrained-energy genetic systems that support and maintain Earth's biosphere by maintenance of genes.

Function of Earth life: uphold and maintain as much constrained energy as possible by upholding and maintaining Earth's biosphere.

PS: As a constrained energy phenomenon Earth's biosphere is a distant relative of black holes...

"Definitions Of Earth Life, Organism, Genome And Gene" are not just a set of definitions...

With all humility, I suggest that this set of definitions lifts and pushes human comprehension of life to a new farther horizon...

Teleology Is Universal

http://www.physforum.com/index.php?showtopic=14988&st=195&#entry333405

A. Again, the probable reason for life's amino acids chirality:

Darwinian evolution started at life's day one, with the genesis of the first organisms, the replicating oligomers, the pre-archaea genes. It started under yet-unknown energetic conditions, by a serendipitous occurrence, with oligomeric (RNA?) conformations, in a soup containing all their essential molecular progenitors. These conformations happened to maintain balance of energy in the direction of their polymerization to lengths precipitated out of their soup as determined by the nature and conditions of the soup.

The sugars and the nitrogen-based compounds that, together with the phosphates, are the components of genes, of life's organisms, are chiral. There probably is an energetic advantage in homochirality and chiral homogeneity for the self-replication of these biopolymers.

This serendipitous occurrence set up a matrix-field of energy with a potential extended between its source, on-Earth incoming energy, and the precipitating organisms, the genes. This was the genesis of the ongoing formation and maintenance of Earth's biosphere.

And since the biosphere had thus started it could only evolve in the directions of more favorable energy balances-packages and towards stabler energy-packages conformations. Survival was the direction. Earth's biosphere had embarked on the course of its evolution.

B. Some definitions, with "end" replacing dictionary's 'cause' or 'design' or 'purpose'

- tele-, telos end

- teleology = a doctrine explaining phenomena by final end; the fact or character attributed to nature or natural processes of being directed toward a specific end; the referral to the end of universe as an explanation of natural phenomena.

teleonomy = the quality of survival of structure or function in living organisms due to evolutionary adaptation.

C. Teleology exist in all nature's systems, both living and nonliving. It is universal.

Since the Universe (including its sub-systems, also life) is a continuously evolving fractal system, ergo energy is the base element of everything. Cosmic evolution is evolution of energy. At the beginning of the present cosmic cycle was the energy singularity, the most dense state. At its end, when 'impansion' gains over expansion, there will be 'small amount' of mass and an infinite dispersion of the beginning energy. In-between, the universe undergoes continuous evolution, consisting of myriad energy-to-energy and energy-to-mass-to-energy transformations.

Evolution ensues from and consists of systems' modifications ("mutations"), inherently ever more of them as more new options arise for the systems, be they non-living or living.

Life systems are temporary packages of energy. On Earth they are components of the grand, temporarily constrained, biosphere energy store. Their 'end' is to enhence and maintain their matrix, the biosphere, bio.

In life systems, modifications of functionalities of genes (primal stratum) and of genomes (2nd stratum) can be explained by the 3rd stratum organisms' ubiquitous culture-life-experience feedbacks to its genome, its prime-base organism. The route-modification selection of a replicating gene, when it is at its alternative-splicing-steps junctions, is biased by the feedback gained by the genome from the culture-life-experience of its progeny organisms. THIS IS HOW LIFE EVOLUTION COMES ABOUT.

For non-life systems there is no mediating culture. The interaction between environments and systems are direct, in the direction towards the 'end' of evolution of the present phase of the universe.

Lifeness Of Genes-Genomes Rejected By A Science Guild?!

Gratified and proud to note that today I received three comment's rejection notices from 'biomedcentral.com'.

BMC received and published several of my earlier comments. However, these rejected comments, heaven forfend, included reference to genes and genomes as 'living organisms'.

The rejection was not explained...

Seems that these ideas are too daring and provocative * to deserve/warrant an explanation...

Basic Study Of Life Ceased In The 21st Century -
One Of Adverse Effects Of Present Technology Culture

A. From "Societal Implications Of Science And Technology Evolution"

http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-P81pQcU1dLBbHgtjQjxG_Q--?cq=1&p=419
or
http://www.the-scientist.com/community/posts/list/61.page#212

"Basic, non-applied science, since the 18th century Enlightenment the banner of social and societal evolution out of entrenched traditional doctrines and values, has been abandoned and presently barely survives in few institutions. Enlightenment's inherent philosophy and attitudes in regards to individualism, universal human progress and the applications of reason have been pushed off the western culture highway by the ever rising flood of values, attitudes and texture of life of the technology era."

IMO this sad state of affairs is most obvious and prominent in the field of basic life science.

B. Life study in the 20th century slowed to halt by "scientists guilds"

- Guild: an association of people with similar interests or pursuits; especially : a medieval association of merchants or craftsmen.

I posit that the defacto slow-to-halt of the basic study of life in the 20th century is a consequence of the authoritative power handed by the public at large to scientists guilds, coupled with the fact that the present scientific guilds are indeed conserved replicas of medieval guild associations, coupled with their modus operandi.

People think that in the scientists guilds operational and editorial decisions are made on purely scientific grounds...

C. A fresh authoritative scientific organization needed

I suggest that an Enlightenment course of societal evolution matrixed on rational scientific grounds may become probable and possible only if and when a fresh authoritative scientific organization is established "by and for the people including scientists" in which scientists operate and make editorial decisions on scientific rather than on political grounds...
