Bioinformation vortices and the emergence of plant life: A unified theory integrating prebiotic signal processing and evolutionary transitions

According to Information Vortex Theory, the spatially distributed wave energy associated with the constituent molecules of an incepting cell interacts with the surrounding space to generate a rotating bioinformation field, forming a vortex. This vortex, characterized as a local maximum of energy density, constitutes both inbound and outbound energy fluxes, corresponding to signal reception and dispersal, respectively. The vortex represents a foundational step in the emergence of life, facilitating both the storage of information and, through successive wave superpositions, the basic processing of information. This mechanism is posited to underpin the self-organizing principles that are essential to life's origin. This study delineates the sequence of events within the information vortex that are causative to the emergence of plant life, emphasizing the role of a central information processing means, which determines evolutionary steps. An environmental context that resists cytoplasmic motion leads to signals favoring pinocytosis, which progressively intensify within the emerging information vortex while concurrently diminishing the expression of phagocytic wave forms. Furthermore, asexual reproductive events, represented by self-division waveforms, propagate this encoded information across successive generations. To elucidate these mechanisms, system-level modeling incorporating feedback loops and adaptive interventions is developed, illustrating the iterative nature of learning and pattern reinforcement. In parallel, a wave-theory-based mathematical framework is introduced to characterize the information vortex energy fluxes and the encoding of the arriving signals epigenetically in the genome.
