On Magnetic Body, Bio-harmonies, Morphogenesis & Epigenetics

Abstract

In TGD, magnetic body is an intentional agent using biological body as a sensory receptor and motor instrument. TGD also provides various mechanism used by magnetic body for control and communication purposes, and the notion of bio-harmony suggests itself as a correlate for quantum coherence at the level of basic bio-molecules. How magnetic body and bio-harmony could help to understand biology? Can one identify biological phenomena making these notions compelling? In this article some candidates for phenomena of this kind are brie y discussed. The finding that behavioral patterns of planaria can be remembered also by the piece of split planaria without brains is consistent with the idea that replication of magnetic body coding for behaviors is behind biochemical replication. That alleles of the same gene have different expression could be understood if the bio-harmony assignable to gene carries additional information besides the biochemical information. These notions might help to understand the mechanisms epigenetic. Histone modification and DNA methylation are believed to involve geometric locking preventing transcription. They could also affect the frequency assignable to DNA codon or some key unit so that the resonance condition making possible reconnection of U-shaped ux tubes allowing biomolecules to get in contact and for transcription to proceed fails to be satisfied. Epigenetic inheritance could reduce to inheritance of bio-harmony: the magnetic bodies of cells of offspring get in tune with those of parent.
