Conservation laws in biology and evolution, their singularities and bans

TL;DR

This paper proposes universal conservation laws in biology and evolution derived from invariance principles, predicting two evolution pathways, singularities, bans, and a novel reversible adaptation mechanism, aligning with experimental data but challenging current theories.

Contribution

It introduces a new set of universal conservation laws in biology based on invariance, revealing two evolution modes, singularities, bans, and a reversible adaptation process.

Findings

Laws predict two alternative evolution pathways.

Identification of singularities and bans in biological systems.

Discovery of a reversible, rapid adaptation mechanism.

Abstract

Well known biological approximations are universal, i.e. invariant to transformations from one species to another. With no other experimental data, such invariance yields exact conservation (with respect to biological diversity and evolutionary history) laws. The laws predict two alternative universal ways of evolution and physiology; their singularities and bans; a new kind of rapid (compared to lifespan), reversible, and accurate adaptation, which may be directed. The laws agree with all experimental data, but challenge existing theories.
