Multilocal Viruses

Matti Pitkanen

Abstract


Multi-local viruses are mysterious from the point of view of ordinary biology. The DNA, RNA, and proteins of these viruses divides into segments located at different host cells and can self-assemble back to the ordinary virus. Various partitions of the virus are possible. TGD based view about space-time and quantum theory allows to understand these viruses as connected entities at the level of magnetic body (MB). MB  containing dark matter in TGD sense would control the dynamics of what looks like multi-local entity at the level of ordinary matter. Also bacteria could be seen as multi-local entities of this kind and the recent findings about states of bacterial colonies analogous to multi-cellulars resembling embryos of multi-cellulars suggests how multi-cellulars evolved from mono-cellulars. An interesting application is to the TGD view about Cambrian Explosion in which highly evolved multi-cellulars evolved. Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny principle provides support for the view that multicellular life evolved in underground oceans defining the womb of Mother Gaia and bursted to the surface as the radius of Earth doubled in a phase transition reducing the value of local cosmological constant.
