Biological life is based on interconnectivity, interdependency, and symbiosis. Adopting a novel perspective, biological systems might reveal key processes of the universe they are derived from. It is posited that the universe is characterized by extensive interconnectedness and symbiosis. Space-time as a dynamic entity is engaged in a symbiotic relationship with the macro matter-energy world, and the quantum world acts as an interface. Space-time provides existence to matter-energy, and the latter provides space-time with high quality energy in the form of applied low entropy. The quantum world offers potentialities varying only in probability to the macro matter-energy world. Interactions derived largely from the four major forces of the universe actualize potentialities and in the process apply low entropy.
Information regarding the actualized potentiality embodies the applied low entropy, based on information itself representing a highly ordered low entropy event. The quantum world transfers this low entropy to space-time and permanently stores the actualization record. Biological life as the ultimate entropy facilitator has a prominent role. This symbiotic model of the universe offers several advantages including—Explaining seemingly disconnected arrows of time, revealing why true time travel is not feasible while suggesting the presence of a precise recording of every occurrence, providing a unique way of conceptualizing dark energy and gravity, demonstrating how processes such as the speed of light represent crucial boundary conditions, opening the door to a possible linkage between science and spiritual matters, and proposing a manner of quantizing gravity based on the role of this and the other three major forces of the universe in actualizing potentialities.
I have prepared a paper entitled A Symbiotic Model of the Universe. It is available here as a pdf for you to download.
