ARTICLE 1. MEMORY THEORY: THE PATH FROM NON-EXISTENCE TO REASON

The paper substantiates the thesis that physical memory — the ability of a material system to preserve structural changes after the cessation of the impact that caused them — is not one of the many properties of living systems, but a mechanism for preserving the identity of the supramolecular ensemble, as postulated in the Non-Information Theory of Life (NJT). According to the NTJ, life is defined as the ability of a supramolecular ensemble to maintain its identity in a continuous exchange of matter and energy.

Abstract

The paper substantiates the thesis that physical memory — the ability of a material system to preserve structural changes after the cessation of the impact that caused them — is not one of the many properties of living systems, but a mechanism for preserving the identity of the supramolecular ensemble, as postulated in the Non-Information Theory of Life (NJT). According to the NTJ, life is defined as the ability of a supramolecular ensemble to maintain its identity in a continuous exchange of matter and energy.
