BIOLOGICAL EXAMPLE: BSE

A well-known biological example that is relevant in the context of biological information transmission – especially faulty or pathologically encoded protein communication – is:


BSE – Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy

(colloquially: "mad cow disease")

What is BSE from a biological perspective?

BSE is a neurodegenerative, fatal disease in cattle caused by so-called prions. Prions are misfolded proteins that do not contain DNA or RNA – i.e., they are not traditional carriers of biological information. and yet are capable of forcing healthy proteins to misfold.

This is a biological process that is surprisingly reminiscent of quantum physical communication models – but in a destructive way.

 


Why is BSE relevant for bio-quantum-based communication?

 

1. Information transmission without a genetic code:
Prions show that information can be transmitted without nucleic acids – purely through structural conformations. This is analogous to quantum-based state copies.

 

2. Chain reaction through structural resonance:
A misfolded prion induces an identical misstructure in other proteins – like in a quantum mechanical system, where the state of one particle influences that of other entangled particles.

 

3. Biological "decoherence":
Prion communication can be viewed as a type of biological decoherence model, in which a stable information state (healthy protein structure) becomes unstable as soon as "incorrect" information is introduced. Information (prion) is introduced.

 


In short:

BSE is a biological example of destructive, non-genetic information transfer that has fascinating parallels to bio-quantum communication – especially with regard to:

 


If you want, I can incorporate this connection into an extended article section as a "warning from biology" - under the title e.g. B.:
"Learning from Prions: When Biological Communication Becomes a Destructive Quantum Signal".
