Imagine life isn’t about survival or procreation but about preserving and transmitting information across time.

A team at MIT and Tokyo University treated every living cell, every ecosystem, as a data network. They’ve uncovered a universal “info principle” pulsing at the core of biology.

In this framework, DNA isn’t just a blueprint—it’s a self-correcting code. Proteins act like algorithms and enzymes function as routers, constantly optimizing error correction.

Metabolism and movement become processes of maximizing signal fidelity. Organisms literally run algorithms to keep their message intact in the face of entropy.

The theory even bridges quantum mechanics and neuroscience: particles, neurons, entire brains follow the same rule—max out information throughput at minimal energy cost.

Death isn’t final but a handoff, a redistribution of data into new networks that fuels evolution’s next burst of complexity.

Consciousness emerges as a high-level feedback loop—a cosmic system reflecting on its own data patterns and rewriting its code in real time.

We’re not just meat machines but vital nodes in an enormous universal computation. Does this new meaning of life flip your worldview?
