Morphogenesis, Self-Replicating Robot & Tessellation in TGD View

Abstract

The basic mystery of photosynthesis is extreme energy efficiency. Up to 95% of the photon's energy is transmitted in a medium that would seem to be as inhospitable as possible for energy transmission with almost no dissipation. The use of very low temperatures, the shooting of monochromatic photons into a lattice, and superconductivity are out of the question. The incoming photons also have a wavelength distribution, which does not facilitate the energy transfer either. The recent experimental study of the LH2 antenna system has led to a view about how the photon energy is transferred to the reaction center where photosynthesis takes place. It is believed that the disorganization of the proteins is proposed to explain this. The proposed interpretation of the findings is as follows. A photon enters and excites the electron of the LH2 protein. When the electron is de-excited, one or more photons are generated which in turn excite the electrons of the next LH2 proteins. Finally, the generated photons excite the electrons of the reaction center and these electrons are used in the photosynthetic process to produce sugar molecules. I find it difficult to imagine how the irregular positions of proteins could make possible the low dissipation, as proposed. The TGD based proposal for the mechanism involves two key ideas. The required long range quantum coherence is made possible by the proposal that dark matter corresponds to the phases of ordinary matter characterized by effective Planck constant. The crystal structure making possible low dissipation would be icosa-tetrahedral hyperbolic honeycomb associated with a magnetic body of the system, which is central also in the dark realization of the genetic code in the TGD framework. Low dissipation for electrons would be possible since dark electron-hole pairs would be transferred along the magnetic body. The gravitational magnetic body of Earth could also play a central role.
