De Onere Electrico in Systematibus Biologicis

Every biological system, from a single cell to an entire organism, is organized around a single physical fact: the cell carries an electric burden, and that burden has to be redistributed continuously to keep the system alive. De Onere Electrico derives the consequences of this fact from first principles, showing how the apparently miraculous features of life - information storage in DNA, catalytic specificity in enzymes, recognition by the immune system, the electrical organization of the nervous system, the dynamics of disease - all follow from how matter handles charge under the constraint of bounded phase space. Beginning from a single geometric axiom, the work derives the structure of nucleic acids, the cellular charge dynamics, the equations of state for disease and immunity, the categorical mechanism of antidepressant action, the cognitive-motor decomposition of metabolic activity, and the resolution of long-standing paradoxes in biology including the c-value paradox, Peto's paradox, and Orgel's paradox. The framework operates with no free parameters and produces quantitative predictions that match experimental measurement across domains spanning twelve orders of magnitude in timescale. Written for biologists, biochemists, physicians, and physicists willing to engage with biology as a consequence of physical principle rather than as a domain governed by historical contingency, De Onere Electrico offers both a foundational reframing and a working framework for clinical and research applications. The genome is not primarily an information storage molecule; it is an electric capacitor whose information storage is an exaptation. The cell is not a soup of biochemistry; it is an electrical circuit operating under partition mechanics. Disease is not a deviation from health defined by template comparison; it is topological inconsistency in the cellular constraint network. From these reframings, the chapters derive a unified account of biological order grounded in the physics of bounded oscillatory systems.
