What theory predicts,

Several independently developed approaches (see some references at the end of this abstract)
to a wave theory of genes have been developed. Here, recent novel experiments, carried out in
Moscow, at the Institute of Control Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences, are
reported in confirmation of this theory. The theory changes the accepted notion about the
genetic code essentially, asserting :-
that the evolution of biosystems has created genetic "texts", similar to context dependent
texts in human languages, shaping the text of these speech-like patterns,
that the chromosome apparatus acts simultaneously both as a source and receiver of these
genetic texts, respectively decoding and encoding them and
that the chromosome continuum of multicellular organisms is analogous to a static-
dynamical multiplex time-space holographic grating, which comprises the space-time
of an organism in a convoluted form.
That is to say, the action, theory describes, is that of a "gene-sign" laser and its solitone
electro-acoustic fields, such that the gene-biocomputer "reads and understands" these texts in
a manner similar to human thinking, but at its own genomic level of "reasoning". Thus, it
asserts that natural human texts (irrespectively of the language used), and genetic "texts"
should have similar mathematical-linguistic and entropic-statistic characteristics, where these
concern the fractality of the distribution of the character frequency density in the natural and
genetic texts, and where in case of genetic texts, the "characters" are identified, as is the
convention, with the nucleotides.
How did this new theory take shape? The principle problem of the creation of the genetic
code, as seen in all the approaches, was to explain the mechanism by means of which a third
codon in an encoding triplet, is selected. To understand, what kind of mechanism resolves this
typically linguistic problem of removing homonym indefiniteness, it is necessary firstly to
postulate a mechanism for the context-wave orientations of the ribosomes in order to resolve
the problem of a precise selection of aminoacid during protein synthesis. This required that a
general informational intermediator function with a very small capacity, within the process of
convolution versus development of sign regulative patterns of the genome-biocomputer
endogenic physical fields, and lead, secondly, to the conception of the genome's associative-
holographic memory and its quantum nonlocality. These assumptions produce a chromosome
apparatus and fast wave genetic information channels connecting the chromosomes of the
separate cells of an organism into a holistic continuum, working as a biocomputer, where one
of the field types, which are produced by the chromosomes, are their radiations. Recent
experiments, performed at the Institute of Control Sciences in Moscow, demonstrate this
postulated capability of "laser radiations" from chromosomes and DNA. Thus it seems the
accepted notions about the genetic code must change fundamentally, and in doing so it will be
possible to create and understand this quantum mechanical DNA-wave biocomputer.
What experiment confirms.
These wave approaches all require that the fundamental property of the chromosome
apparatus is the nonlocality of the genetic information. In particular, quantum nonlocality
within the framework of concepts introduced by Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen (EPR). The
experiments carried out in Moscow directly relate this quantum nonlocality (i) to laser
radiations from chromosomes, (ii) to the ability of the chromosome to gyrate the polarization
plane of its own radiated and occluded photons and (iii) to the suspected ability of
chromosomes, to transform their own genetic-sign laser radiations into broadband genetic-
sign radio waves. In the latter case, the polarizations of chromosome laser photons are
connected nonlocally and coherently to polarizations of the radio waves. Partially, this was
proved during experiments in vitro, when the DNA preparations interplaying with a laser
beam ( =632.8 nm), organized in a certain way, polarize and convert the beam simultaneously
into a radio-frequency range. In these experiments, another extremely relevant phenomenon
was detected: photons, modulated within the polarization by molecules of the DNA
preparation. These are found to be localized (or "recorded") in the form of a system of laser
mirrors' heterogeneities. Further, this signal can "be read out" without any essential loss of the
information (as theory predicts), in the form of isomorphously (in relation to photons)
polarized radio waves. Both the theoretical and experimental research on the convoluted
condition of localized photons therefore testifies in favor of these propositions.
These independently research approaches also lead to the postulate, that the liquid crystal
phases of the chromosome apparatus (the laser mirror analogues) can be considered as a
fractal environment to store the localized photons, so as to create a coherent continuum of
quantum-nonlocally distributed polarized radio wave genomic information. To a certain
extent, this corresponds with the idea of the genome's quantum-nonlocality, postulated earlier,
or to be precise, with a variation of it.
This variation says that the genetic wave information from DNA preparations, recorded
within the polarizations of connected photons, being quantum-nonlocal, constitutes a
broadband radio wave spectrum correlated - by means of polarizations - with the photons.
Here, the main information channel, at least in regard to DNA, is the parameter of
polarization, which is nonlocal and is the same for both photons and the radio waves. A
characteristic feature is, that the Fourier-image of the radio spectra is dynamical, depending
essentially on the type of matter interrogated. It can therefore be asserted, that this
phenomenon concerns a new type of a computer (and biocomputer) memory, and also a new
type of EPR spectroscopy, namely one featuring photon-radiowave-polarization. The
fundamental notion is, that the photon-radio-wave features of different objects (ie the Fourier-
spectra of the radio waves of crystals, water, metals, DNA, etc) are stored for definite but
varying times by means of laser mirrors, such that the "mirror spectra" concern chaotic
attractors with a complex dynamic fractal dynamics, recurring in time. These experiments are
therefore not only unique in themselves, they are a first example, that a novel static
storage/recording environment (laser mirrors) exists, capable of directly recording the space-
time dynamical behaviour of objects. Further the phenomena, detected by these experiments,
establishes the existence of an essentially new type of radio signal, where the information will
be encoded by polarizations of electromagnetic vectors. This will be the basis of a new type of
video recording, and will create a new form of cinema as well.
Further experimental research has revealed the high biological (genetic) activity of such radio
waves, when generated under the right conditions by DNA preparations. For example, by
means of such artificially produced DNA radiations, the superfast growth of potatoes (up to 1
cm per day) has been achieved, together with dramatic changes of morphogenesis resulting in
the formation of small tubers not on rootstocks but on stalks. The same radiations also turned
out to be able to cause a statistically authentic "resuscitation" of dead seeds of the plant
Arabidopsis thaliana, which were taken from the Chernobyl zone in 1987. By contrast, the
monitoring of irradiations by polarized radio waves, which do not carry information on the
DNA, are observed to be biologically inactive. In this sequence of experiments, additional
evidence was also obtained in favour of the possibility of the existence of the genetic
information in form of the polarizational radio wave physical field. This supports the
supposition that the main information channel in these experiments is the biosign modulations
of polarizations mediated by some version of quantum nonlocality. A well known fact can
therefore be seen in new light, namely, that the information biomacromolecules - DNA, RNA
and proteins - have an outspoken capacity to optical rotatory dispersion and circular
dichroism. Similarly, the low molecular components of biosystems, such as saccharides,
nucleotides, amino acids, porphyrins and other substances have the same capacity; a capacity,
which until now made little biological sense. Now, however, this capacity supports, the
contention that this newly detected phenomenon of quantized optical activity can be
considered as the means by which the organism obtains unlimited information on its own
metabolism. That is, such information is read by endogenic laser radiations of chromosomes,
which, in their turn, produce the regulative ("semantic") radio emission of the genome
biocomputer. Furthermore, the apparent inconsistency between the waves lengths of such
radiations and the sizes of organisms, cells and subcell structures is abrogated, since the
semantic resonances in biosystems' space are realized not at the level of wave lengths, but at
the level of frequencies and angles of twist of the polarization modes. Similarly, this
mechanism is the basis for the artificial laser-radio-wave vitro-in vivo scanning of the
organism and its components.
Conclusions.
This chromosome quantum nonlocality as a phenomenon of the genetic information, is seen
as particularly important in multicellular organisms and as applying on various levels.
The 1st level is that the organism as a whole. Here nonlocality is reflected in the capacity for
regeneration, such that any part of the body recreates the whole organism, as, for example, in
case of worm Planaria. That is to say, any local limiting of the genetic information to any part
of a biosystem is totally absent, as also concerns the vegetative reproduction of plants.
The 2nd level is the cellular level. Here it is possible to grow a whole organism out of a single
cell. However with highly evolved animal biosystems, this will be a complex matter.
The 3rd level is the cellular-nuclear level. The enucleation of nuclea from somatic and sexual
cells and the subsequent introduction into them of other nuclei does not impede the
development of a normal organism. Cloning of this kind has already been carried out on
higher biosystems, for example, sheep.
The 4th level is the molecular level: here, the ribosome "would read" mRNA not only with
respect to the separate codons, but also as a whole and in consideration of their context.
The 5th level is the chromosome-holographic: at this level, a gene has a holographic memory,
which is typically distributed, associative, and nonlocal, where the holograms "are read" by
electromagnetic and/or acoustic fields. These carry the gene-wave information out beyond the
limits of the chromosome structure. Thus, at this and subsequent levels, the nonlocality takes
on its dualistic material-wave role, as may also be true for the holographic memory of the
cerebral cortex.
The 6th level concerns the genome's quantum nonlocality. Up to the 6th level, the nonlocality
of bio-information is realized within the space of an organism. This 6th level has, however, a
special nature; not only because it is realized at the quantum level, but also because it works
both through the space of a biosystem and in a biosystem's own time frame. Billions of an
organism's cells can therefore "know" about each other instantaneously, allowing such a cell
set to regulate and coordinate its metabolism and its own functions.Thus, nonlocality can be
postulated to be the key factor explaining the astonishing evolutionary achievement of
multicellular biosystems. This factor says that bioinformatic events, can be instantaneously
co-ordinated, taking place "here and there simultaneously", and that in such situations the
concept of "cause and effect" loses any sense. This is of a great importance! Intercellular
diffusion of signal substances and of the nervous processes are far too inertial for this
purpose. Even if it is conceded that intercellular transmissions take place electro-magnetically
at light speeds, this would still be insufficient to explain how highly evolved, highly complex
biosystems work in real time. The apparatus of quantum nonlocality and holography, is in
authors' view, indispensable to a proper explanation of such real time working. The 6th level
therefore says, genes can act as true quantum objects, and that, it is the phenomemon of
quantum non-locality, that ensures organism's supercoherency, information superredundancy,
superknowledge, cohesion and, as a totality or whole, the organism's integrity (viability).
Indeed it can be said that this new understanding of biocomputers, constitutes a further step in
a development of computer technology in general. An understanding that will bring about a
total change of the constituent basis of that technology, in the history of analogue > to >
digital > to > now, the figuratively semantic (nonlocal) wave computer or biocomputer. This
biocomputer will be based on the higher forms of the DNA memory, and new understanding
of the chromosome apparatus, as the recording, storaging, varying and transmitting system for
genetic information, that can be considered simultaneously at the level of matter and at the
level of physical fields. The latter fields, as showed experimentally in this research, are
carriers of genetic and general regulative information, operating on a continuum of genetic
molecules (DNA, RNA, proteins). Here, previously unknown types of memory (solitone,
holographic, photon/radiowave polarization) and also the DNA molecule itself, work both as
biolasers and as a recording environment for these biolaser signals. Thus the genetic code will
be essentially different from today's generally accepted but, the DNA-wave biocomputer
asserts, incomplete model. For it says that this incomplete model only begins to explain the
apparatus of protein biosynthesis of living organisms, providing an important interpretation
within the new proposed composite hierarchic chain of material and field, sign, holographic,
semiotic-semantic and, in the general case, of figurative, enciphering and deciphering
chromosome functions. For in the DNA-wave biocomputer model, the DNA molecules,
conceived as a gene-sign continuum of any biosystem, are able to form pre-images of
biostructures and of the organism as a whole as a registry of dynamical "wave copies" or
"matrixes", each succeeding each other. This continuum is the measuring, calibrating field for
the quantum holographic construction in space-time of the biosystem in question.
