The holographic principle and the language of genes

TL;DR

This paper explores how the holographic principle constrains biological complexity and explains the linguistic structure of genetic sequences through quantum gravity concepts and Boolean network models.

Contribution

It introduces a novel application of the holographic principle to biological systems, linking quantum gravity constraints to genetic language and evolution.

Findings

Protein and DNA sequences exhibit linguistic properties.

Biological complexity evolution aligns with holographic constraints.

Protein length distributions can be explained by linguistic mechanisms.

Abstract

We show that the holographic principle in quantum gravity imposes a strong constraint on life. The degrees of freedom of an organism can be estimated according to the theory of Boolean networks, which is constrained by the entropy bound. Hence we can explain the languages in protein sequences or in DNA sequences. The overall evolution of biological complexity can be illustrated. And some general properties of protein length distributions can be explained by a linguistic mechanism.
