Post no-2: Evolution of Biological Memory.

The life of the universe started with an extremely condensed form of entity undergoing rapid expansion of space with all of its elements. In the course of its expansion, forces of its energy content were directed to all possible dimensions from each point of the expanding universe and the number of dimension increased infinitely along with the expanding periphery. As a result of their interaction, different forms of compound energy evolved with specific characteristics depending on the nature and direction of each participating component. Because each of the energy form was interacting in a rapidly expanding space, several forms of energy converged around a point in a spiral manner, which is still continuous at the present state of the expanding universe.

Spiral nature of galaxies. 

However, those points where different forms of compound energy converged, condensed and became confined within space appeared as particulate entities with definite properties depending on the nature of the interacting components. Several forms of particles then became strongly associated with each other to form atoms with different properties depending on the number and nature of interacting particles. Atoms with different properties continue random collision between them in expending dynamic space. As a result of such collision and interaction between same or different atoms, complex forms of molecules are generated depending on the surrounding nature of environment like temperature, pressure, electric charge, mass, gravitational force etc. Finally, accumulation of molecules together appeared as more complex substantial entities in the universe.

Among the three types of substances, appearance of liquid substances (particularly water) in space was most important in the evolutionary point of view. Liquid substances were able to retain the integrity in space in a defined condition where each of the elements (both energy and matter) could interact freely between them within a confined space. However, random interactions within a liquid substance have no significance but a series of reactions with a definite order can represent specific event. When the same series of reaction occurs again and again, the same event repeats within the system. When a series of chemical reactions establish a cyclic order, the representative event becomes permanent within the system. This was the starting point where memory of an event evolved for the first time in the universe within a liquid matrix. Such memories were essential to generate biological system and its evolution into more complex forms of organisms.



[Cyclic events are essential to generate and maintain functional systems in the universe at minute to larger scales. Cyclic movement of electrons around nucleus generates the atomic system. Cyclic reaction pathways in cells are essential to operate living systems. CO2, O2, N2 and H2O cycles keep the environment suitable for living creatures. Circular orbits of planets create the solar system whereas spiral movements of stars construct galactic systems]
