title: Is there a "molecular Nirvana Principle"? Towards a unified resolutional model of the biological symbol-matter dichotomy.
abstract: In the present paper, the metapsychological "Nirvana Principle" is investigated evolutionarily at the earliest forms of life in a highly tentative way. A corresponding "molecular Nirvana Principle" is proposed, where the recent suggestions of the "internal measurement" biophysical quantum-molecular research programme of modern quantum biology are introduced, in relation to the former metapsychological theory, conceived to be valid in the entire realm of living systems (just as it was intended by the original author). By an appropriate introduction of a special primordeal dynamical time inversion symmetry breaking, originating in a premeval self-measurement in a composite nucleic acid-protein system, a special internal symmetry restoration time series is defined. In this way, a strictly physically defined self-identity ("molecular Nirvana," special physical symmetry restored) is derived, which is put equal to the quantum physical equivalent and root of the goals of evolutionarily higher level fundamental drives (the "Nirvana Principle"). It is shown that it is a natural requirement that the following internal regressive time (-reversal) physical molecular relations (and so the ultimate time symmetry) is mapped onto space, as is also suggested by some symbol-theoretical propositions.
