In these unified science reviews we often focus on experiments and theories advancing unified physics, which is a mathematical and conceptual unification of all forces, constants, properties, dynamics and interactions of matter and energy from the quantum to the cosmological scale. But we are interested in much more than just the field of physics; one of the reasons that we refer to unified science is because we are actively extending the concept of unified physics to include a unified description of all organized matter in the universe, which extends beyond just quantum physics and relativity and into chemistry, biology, psychology, complex systems, and intelligence in the universe.
So, for example, we can look at the dynamics of quantum gravity operational in the biological system, where the underlying spacetime geometry of quantum entangled wavefunctions of macromolecules direct the biochemical networks of the cell and the coupled information exchange of the biological system with the universal information network of spacememory, where nonlocal signals are quasi-instantaneously exchanged regardless of distance in space or time via micro-wormholes manifesting as quantum tunneling dynamics. Our work to unify science may be a bit ahead of its time, as more conventional scientists most probably view quantum gravity and biology as two separate and distinct worlds, having nothing to do with each other. Of course, this is the fallacy of a myopic and non-syncretic perspective, and observational science and experiment will, in time, come to show the indelible and innate link between these two domains, and indeed the innate interconnection of all domains within the universe; a world-view perspective that we refer to as The Connected Universe.
In exploration of this key concept, we will explore here the understanding that intelligence in the biological system is not restricted to a complex central nervous system, like the brain. Processing of environmental information and information of internal states--- generating intelligent directionality of cellular operations--- resides at a much more primordial level than neuronal networks, at the heart of the cell in the genetic, morphogenic, and metabolic molecular networks of the cell, which necessarily operate at the quantum level and hence involve nonlocal dynamics of the wavefunctions.
Since the demonstrable intelligence we observe in neuronal activity evolutionarily emerges from the intelligence of the molecular networks of the cell, which possesses the same quality of information processing normally only attributed to entire neuronal networks, as a result of being a holo-fractal system with scale-free cognitive function, we should not be surprised to find intelligence operational within the genetic machinery of the living system, as it is the morphogenic networks– the trans-temporal information exchange in the spacememory network– that are the ultimate root of intelligence in the organism.
