    Area of Science:

    • Origin of Life Studies
    • Biophysics
    • Evolutionary Biology

    Background:

    • Distinguishes biological information from Shannon information.
    • Proposes a continuous transition from inanimate matter to living systems.
    • Highlights the role of endogenous boundary conditions in biological processes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To elucidate the mechanism of biological information origin and evolution.
    • To define biological information as a process of matter informing matter.
    • To establish the role of cellular units in biological evolution.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual framework based on physical processes and boundary conditions.
    • Analysis of protobiological and biological information origins.
    • Examination of the successive production process in biological systems.

    Main Results:

    • Biological information originates from prior polymeric products creating new boundary conditions.
    • This process is continuous, explaining the transition from inanimate to living matter.
    • Perpetuating cellular production processes enhance evolutionary specificity.

    Conclusions:

    • Biological information is fundamentally a physical process of matter informing matter.
    • Cellular units are essential prerequisites for biological evolution.
    • Evolutionary specificity is enhanced through cellular production processes.
