These structures are also generally unsymmetric. On the other hand basic interactions, such as electromagnetic interactions, which could reasonably be responsible for living structures are highly symmetric. Quantum field theory predicts that ordered structures are likely to appear when the symmetry of the basic Lagrangian is broken by choosing an unsymmetric vacuum. We suggest that long-range correlations could appear in living matter as a consequence of the breakdown of rotational invariance in the set of electric dipoles, which are the basic components of that matter. Moreover we discuss the behavior of electromagnetic field in the region of correlated dipoles and show that it gets confined inside narrow filaments, which could be at origin of cell architecture.

The rôle of the radiative gauge field in sustaining the coherent regime is discussed.

Time evolution is described in terms of trajectories in the space of the unitarily inequivalent representations of the canonical commutation relations. Statistical and thermodynamical properties of such a description are analysed.

There are indications that the vascular system might act as a network of pathways for traveling electrical impulses. A question arises about the correlation and interplay between the molecular (microscopic) level and the macroscopic observable behavior of the system (the electrical impulses), for individual trees and as a component of the larger living ecosystem, the forest. Results from the “Cyberforest Experiment” in the Paneveggio forest (Valle di Fiemme, Trento, Italy) are presented. It is shown that: (i) biopotential features of xylem biomolecular activity can be correlated with the solar (and lunar) cycle, (ii) tree stubs show an electrical molecular activity that is correlated with that of neighboring trees, (iii) statistical features of spike-like peaks and entropy can be correlated with corresponding thermal entropy, and (iv) basic symmetries of the quantum fi...

We discuss its connection to dissipation and to the gauge structure of the theory. We then argue, following ’t Hooft’s conjecture, that noncommutative spectral geometry classical construction carries implicit in its feature of the doubling of the algebra the seeds of quantization.

We show that such a two-sheeted structure is related with the gauge structure of the theory, its dissipative character and carries in itself the seeds of quantization. From the algebraic point of view, the algebra doubling process has the same structure of the deformed Hops algebra structure which characterizes quantum field theory.

That the recorded EMS and nanostructures induced in water carry the DNA information (sequence) is shown by retrieval of that same DNA by classical PCR amplification using the TAQ polymerase, including both primers and nucleotides. Moreover, such a transduction process has also been observed in living human cells exposed to EMS irradiation. These experiments suggest that coherent long range molecular interaction must be at work in water so to allow the observed features. The quantum field theory analysis of the phenomenon is presented.
