Complexity in the universe grew gradually from gravity and nuclear powers in the cosmosphere, with all the information stored in atomic-nuclear structures. The origin of life is therefore a result of the organization and reorganization of matter to support constants such as the cosmic energy. Which of the following statements describes this ongoing process? (Select all that apply)
Choose at least one answer.
a. The process was intensified with the emergence of self-organizing macromolecular systems and reached a state of complexity with the emergence of the neural network and the conscious universe interconnection code with information stored in quantum holographic networks.b. Any spontaneously-occurring process will always lead to an escalation in the entropy of the Universe.c. Structured inorganic networks were replaced with organic matter, which resulted in stronger computational processes and better proton pumping for more ATP generation that was required for adaptation and awareness.d. The absorption of non-ionizing radiation led to electron excitations within atoms and molecules, which may have led to energy transfer that we now understand as the photosensitization potential and through pathways such as the cell-soul pathway.

Question14Marks: 1
The concept of non-local effects does not have any counterpart in classical physics. In addition to the state of "existence" and "non-existence," there is a third state that is intermediate between two existing particles. A particle may be in a certain region of space, or may not be there, or it is in an undefined position.

Liquid water is necessary for life, and life emerged only when water was available. What are some reasons for the importance of water? (Select all that apply)
Choose at least one answer.
a. In living systems, water is known to support coherent dipolar excitations where the Froehlich effect has a connection with long-range propagation of signals in biological and non-biological materials as wave packets consisting of Schrodinger Davydov solitons.b.

It is a concept better suited to ancient healing methods such as acupuncture.

We exist and live in our mind, the psyche. When we compare the animal and plant kingdoms with ourselves, it stands to reason that all things that happen to us are contained right in the living cell. Therefore, a single cell has feelings, and this is the basis of how it is cognized.

How is the circularity and subject-object problem resolved by quantum physics? (Select all that apply)
Choose at least one answer.

Matter can make a representation of consciousness.b. When circularity is present in potentiality, then matter is ready to represent consciousness.c. The circularity issue is not taken into account for determining the subject-object problem.d. It recognizes that if consciousness is the ground of being, then there is potentiality for objects, but there is also potentiality for subjects.

Question34Marks: 1
In physics the need for a variational principle states that with an initial configuration A and a final configuration B corresponding to a specified time, the one that is actually occurring is distinguished by the smallest value of a physical quantity, in comparison to every possible slightly modified path. Thus, the Least Action principle plays this role since all the fundamental laws of physics can be derived from it.

What needs to be added to the Least Action principle for biology in order to complete the theoretical framework worked out by theoretical physics? (Select all that apply)
Choose at least one answer.
a. Greatest Action principleb. Biological Teleologyc. Thermodynamic Equilibrium.d. Least Action principle

"Cosmic energy may be connected and thus forms a matrix within the entire cosmos and by means of structured matter can elicit life." Which of the following statements are consistent with this phrase? (Select all that apply)
Choose at least one answer.
a. Living systems, like non-living systems, are dependent on quantum states at the level of their chemical bonding.b. Evolution began much after the existence of energy and matter and its unanimity, and therefore the answer to the origin of life lies much before the emergence of viruses, bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes.c. The question of which was first, life or energy, is an issue which has still not been resolved adequately.d. The cosmic energy by some means entombed itself within matter; energy was stored with the chemical bonds, which we now understand through the studies of chemistry and biochemistry.

Question41Marks: 1
The nonlocal process used to explain quantum phenomena has loopholes in practical implementations. It favors the view that the wavefunction represents a lack of knowledge rather than reality.

When the purposiveness of consciousness is served, it makes the evolution proceed toward a better and better representation of the soul.c. Consciousness is a unique phenomenon that only happens to those who seek the correct path.d. The quantum worldview can introduce both cause and purpose into the same concept. They eventually collapse in a downward position which, when imposed, is a causal force that changes possibility and actuality.
Question49Marks: 1
How does evolution or change occur? How does eternity impose limitations on itself? Which of the following statements explain this concept? (Select all that apply)
Choose at least one answer.
a. We are choosers; we give meaning to the archetypes, such as love and truth. The meaning of these archetypes becomes alive in us and becomes important for us.b. We see a target limitation, which is the limitation of our logical form and function. Only those possibilities are permitted that will be studied within the specific biological forms and functions, which will then be manifested in the form of various bases.c. Eternity has to impose limitations on itself because without this, there would not be any scope for change.d. Consciousness becomes law bound: laws of the mind, laws of the vital energies, laws of the supplemental.

What is the significance of the delayed-choice experiments? (Select all that apply)
Choose at least one answer.
a. The experiments turned out to be trivial and did not provide assistance in developing a quantum theory on the origin of the universe.b. Now we can give the complete picture of how the universe is, indeed, a bunch of possibilities until all these things happen in potentiality.c. We can witness the beginning of the universe by tracing all the ingredients, going backwards in time, atmosphere, the supernova, galaxies, all the way to the Big Bang, all in retrospect.d. Everything waits until the circularity comes about in potentiality. Then immediately the match is made, it collapses, and then the observer and the observed universe are created at once.
