Temporal cohesion as a candidate for negentropy in biological thermodynamics

Abstract

Negentropy explored by Schrödinger for saving biology within thermodynamics stands firm on the perpetual temporal cohesion of material origin. The temporal cohesion refers to the cohesion acting between what has been produced and what is going to produce, thus keeping the negentropy as a measure of organization constantly positive in time. Such cohesion is ubiquitous in measurement internal to the material world. Internal measurement in the quantum realm really lets the current "detecting" constantly feed upon some quantum resources available from the preceding "detected" a moment ago. The quantum resources transferred during the cohesive process serve as a physical factor for bridging between the two different temporalities; the present perfect and progressive tenses. What has been detected comes to participate in an attribute of what is going to detect next as constantly following suit. Temporal cohesion is an agential mediator connecting the adjacent temporalities in a manner different from the spatial cohesion observing only the single temporality restricted to the present tense. The activity of enhancing the magnitude of negentropy may have preceded the emergence of something called life phenomenon. Biology feeds upon temporal cohesion.
