This paper presents a model where DNA imprints its structure on water, proposing a continuous and dynamic self-reorganization process of water clusters, called snowflake signaling. The model's hypothesis is that DNA structure affects water structure in the cell nucleus. Genomic evidence supports the model, revealing evolutionary genomic imprinting of DNA-DNA interactions through structured water.

Sex and Aging: The Theory of the "Prized Son"

Authors: Joao Carlos Holland Barcellos
Comments: 25 Pages. New theory of causes of senescence

After highlighting where some of the most well-known theories about aging and death fall short, we will propose a new theory that explains sexual reproduction and aging. In this theory, both sexual reproduction and senescence emerge as Darwinian adaptations. A mechanism that circumvents group selection is also suggested. We will then develop the "Equation of Death," which establishes species longevity as a function of parameters related to their prey and predators.
