The Cosmic Triad: Life-Content as a Coherent Computational Sector of the Universe and the Vitadynamic Constraints on Biological Information

The Cosmic Triad: Life-Content as a Coherent Computational Sector of the Universe and the Vitadynamic Constraints on Biological Information Sameh Mesallum Department of Medicine, Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, MA, USA Abstract Living systems exhibit coherent information processing capabilities that exceed classical thermodynamic predictions. This work advances the Cosmic Triad framework, positioning life as a third organizational sector of the universe—alongside radiation and matter— defined by the life‑content functional Q_L, which quantifies cumulative quantum‑coherent, information‑bearing operations performed by living systems. Building on Lloyd’s universal computational bound, Margolus–Levitin quantum speed limits, and empirical coherence metrics, we formalize a vitadynamic action S_L linking biological information I(t) to a recycling flux R(t). This yields a continuity constraint where evolutionary innovation depends on coherence‑weighted informational flux. The Vitadynamic Scaling Law (Q_L ~ κ√B_L) conceptualizes life as a coherent computational subsystem constrained by universal physical limits. Integrating Vitadynamics with the Biological Recycling Theory (BRT) and the Law of Quantum Evolutionary Recycling (LQER), the Cosmic Triad provides a unified, testable, and physically grounded formulation of life’s origin, persistence, and computational efficiency.
