Indexed Informational Persistence: A Conceptual Bridge Between Biology and Informational Monism

This thesis extends the conceptual framework introduced in Informational Monism: A Conceptual Framework for Informational Monism (Islam, Mohammad Ashiqul, 2025) by applying the central substrate, the Information Field (Ψ_I), to biological continuity, death, and informational persistence. It proposes Indexed Informational Persistence (IIP), a model in which informational structures retain coherence across scales—through genomic transmission, environmental inscription, and cultural encoding—even after the physical systems that embodied them disintegrate. Applying IIP to biology, the thesis examines identity, evolution, and death, suggesting that while consciousness is temporally bounded, the informational essence of organisms participates in a continuous cycle within Ψ_I. DNA is discussed as a concrete example of persistent informational indexing, illustrating how information remains traceable across generations. The work situates these ideas within broader philosophical and scientific contexts, offering a conceptual bridge between biological processes, consciousness, and a unified informational substrate.
