When the cognitive process that underpins consciousness is stipulated as a cellular attribute, these premises are directly contradicted.

By considering previously, the analysis of 71 species examined by covering 18 orders of mass magnitude from the <em>Megapteranovaeangliae</em> to <em>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</em> suggest that in molecular structures of smaller masses than any living being known nowadays, the power dissipation must be directly proportional to the power of the photons of solar origin that impinge them to give rise to the formation of more complex self-assembled molecular structures at the prebiotic stage by a quantum mechanics model of resonant photon wavelength excitation. The analysis of 12 circular molecules (encapsulated in lipid-walled vacuoles) relevant to the evolution of life on planet Earth such as the five nucleobases, and some aromatic molecules as pyrimidine, porphyrin, chlorin, coumarin, xanthine, etc., were carried out.

The previous figures are compatible with some results obtained by followers of the primordial soup theory where under certain suppositions about the Archean chemical kinetical changes on the precursors of RNA and DNA try to justify the formation rate of RNA and DNA components and the emergence of life within a 10-million-year window, 3.5 billion years ago. The physical foundation perspective and the simplicity of the proposed approach suggests that it can serve as a possible template for both, the development of new kind of experiments, and for prebiotic theories that address self-organization occurring inside such vacuoles.

Empirical observations indicate specific individuals are dedicated to tunneling, rarely interchanging tasks. However, considering the limited tunneling energy of termite populations, it is reasonable to expect regular task shifts between fatigued and rested individuals to maintain continuous tunneling and optimize foraging. To explore this disparity, we developed a sophisticated individual-based model simulating the termite tunneling process in two scenarios: one with task shifting and one without. In the task shift scenario, the initial group of termites excavates the tunnel, expends all their energy, and returns to the nest. A new group is then deployed to the tunnel tip to continue the excavation, collectively creating the final tunnel pattern. In the no task shift scenario, the initial group completes the tunneling without transitioning to subsequent groups. We compared the tunnel patterns of these two scenarios, focusing on tunnel directionality and size. The comparison revealed statistically no significant difference in tunnel directionality between the scenarios. However, the tunnel size was notably larger in the absence of task shift, suggesting that continuous tunneling without task shift may enhance food searching efficiency. In the discussion section, we briefly address the limitations of the model arising from differences between the simulations and actual termite systems. Additionally, we touch on the idea to explain the fact that only a fixed proportion of workers in a termite colony participate in tunneling activities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50730,"journal":{"name":"Biosystems","volume":"247 ","pages":"Article 105380"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142824601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cancer memory describes a proposed mechanism by which complex information such as metastasis phenotypes, therapy resistance and interaction patterns with the tumor environment might be encoded at multiple levels via mechanisms used in memory formation in the brain and immune system (e.g. single-cell epigenetic changes and distributed state modifications in cellular ensembles). Carcinogenesis might hence be the result of physiological multi-level learning mechanisms unleashed by defined heritable oncogenic changes which lead to tumor-specific loss of goal state integration into the whole organism. The formation of cancer memories would create and bind new levels of individuality within the host organism into the entity we call cancer. Translational implications of cancer memory are that cancers could be engaged at higher organizational levels (e.g. be “trained” for memory extinction) and that compounds that are known to interfere with memory processes could be investigated for their potential to block cancer memory formation or recall.
