A Dissipative Quantum Field Model of Whole-Organism Coherence: A Multi-Field Framework for Biological Integration Across Scales

Biological systems maintain coherent organization across spatial and temporal scales that cannot be fully explained by classical biochemical or electrophysiological models. Building on the dissipative quantum field theoretical framework introduced by Vitiello and collaborators, this work develops an organism-wide model in which coherence emerges from multiple quantum substrates undergoing spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB). Each substrate—coherent water domains, microtubular dipole fields, mitochondrial excitons, chromatin vibrational dipoles, ionic phase waves, and large-scale electromagnetic modes—defines a distinct coherent sector represented by macroscopic fields Θ₁–Θ₁₂. These fields are characterized by condensation amplitudes θₖ(t) derived from the vacuum structure.Using operator doubling, Bogoliubov transformations, and projection of the doubled Liouville equation, we obtain macroscopic evolution equations for θₖ(t) and show that their dynamics form a gradient flow on a multi-field free-energy landscape with a global attractor Θ_ref. The Biological Coherence Index (BCI), based on vacuum overlap, provides an experimentally accessible measure of whole-organism coherence.This framework offers a unified quantitative approach to long-range biological coherence, cross-scale coupling, and integrative regulation in living systems.
