which is consistent with the following convenient dictum:

Water is to the cell language what air is to human language [494].

That is,

Just as air is the medium of human communication (no air, no

sound), so is water the medium of cellular communication (no

water, no life).

Both living cells and human beings must communicate in order to

survive. Communication requires a language. It was found in 1997 (see

Section 4.4) that, out of the 13 design features of the human language

(humanese), 10 were found to have molecular counterparts in the cell

language (cellese), some of which are shown in rows 4–6 in Table 2.4.

Unlike air which cannot store information for transmission through

time (because sounds and audio music dissipate rapidly), water, perhaps

due to its ordered complexity [5, 365], appears capable of transmitting

information through both space (via proton waves propagating in the

fourth­phase water of Pollack and Ling [5]) and time (via the formation of

stable dissipative structure of water also called coherence domains by

Del Giudice and his coworkers based on the quantum electrodynamic

principles [110, 364]) (see row 3, Table 2.4).

In addition to air, the Internet through which humans exchange elec­

tromagnetic waves encoding humanese messages can be viewed as yet

another medium of communication (see row 2). Including the Internet in

Table 2.4 has an interesting consequence, namely the possibility of apply­

ing the McLuhan equation (i.e., medium = message) to cellese [368]. If

cellese and humanese are indeed symmetric (also called isomorphic; see

Section 4.4), it would be logical to anticipate that the McLuhan equation

originating from humanese would apply to cellese as well. Since the

McLuhan equation predicts the emergence of the Global Village charac­

terized by the humanese­based integration of diverse human societies,

nations, and cultures into one, so perhaps the same equation may predict

the emergence of what may be called the Cosmological Village that is

characterized by the cellese­based integration of diverse domains of
