Water as a transducer layer between hyperspatial information and biological order: A hypothesis on the origin of life

The origin of biological order remains one of the central unsolved problems in science. While substantial progress has been made in understanding the abiotic synthesis of biomolecules, no generally accepted mechanism explains how molecular organization emerged from prebiotic chemistry. Orgel (Orgel, 1998) emphasized that the crucial problem is not merely the formation of organic building blocks, but the emergence of self-organization and information-bearing structures from an abiotic environment. The author further argues that there is little experimental support for the spontaneous organization of extended metabolic networks in the absence of a genetic system. In this hypothesis paper, a possible physical mechanism is proposed that may bridge the gap between molecular (bio-)chemistry and biological organization. Building on Burkhard Heim's concept of rheomorphic projection from higher-dimensional structures into physical spacetime (Heim, 2007), together with quantum electrodynamic (QED) models of coherent water domains (Arani et al., 1995; Del Giudice et al., 1995, 1988), liquid water is interpreted as a physical transducer layer between informational processes beyond spacetime and molecular organization within spacetime. The central hypothesis is that water occupies a unique thermodynamic regime characterized by a large number of nearly degenerate molecular configurations. Small probability shifts originating through Heim's projection sequence (Heim, 2007) may therefore become amplified into transient mesoscopic ordering phenomena. These temporary water structures could subsequently guide the organization of dissolved molecules, functioning as dynamic templates for prebiotic chemistry. In this view, biological order does not emerge solely from chemistry but from the interaction between chemistry and an underlying informational layer mediated by water.
