BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES OF THE PROTEIN MIRROR. Questions about the Primary Architecture of Existence.
Abstract
This philosophical essay analyzes the hypothesis of Earth as an integrated, autonomous information-processing operating system, moving away from the anthropocentric 'living/non-living' dualism (p. 15). The work challenges the paradigm of life based exclusively on 'wet' protein matter, suggesting that minerals (such as those from the Nuvvuagittuq formation in Canada) constitute a primal, crystalline information matrix that predates biology by billions of years (pp. 1, 26). The author introduces the 'Kornaga Paradigm,' according to which evolution is a process of optimizing information flow within stable mineral systems (p. 18). In this perspective, humanity and modern technology (AI, brain-computer interfaces) are seen as a return to mineral roots and an evolutionary necessity, where transient protein merges with durable silicon to create a new level of planetary intelligence (pp. 11, 25).
