Classical biology draws a sharp line between living and non-living, but Cybernetics 3, with its focus on genomic oscillations, blurs this distinction. Viruses, traditionally considered inert outside a host, become dynamic entities brimming with potential, their existence echoing the principles of quantum mechanics.

Theoretical and experimental discussions suggest that viruses and bacteria, like subatomic particles, may exhibit quantum superposition - the ability to exist in multiple states simultaneously until observed. The possibility that entire microorganisms could enter a quantum superposition challenges the classical view that such effects are limited to the microscopic realm of electrons and photons. If confirmed, this could reshape not only our concept of life but also the fundamental nature of biological processes.

At the heart of this enigma is the question: Can viruses and bacteria occupy multiple quantum states at once, much like Schrödinger’s fabled cat? Emerging research suggests that under carefully controlled conditions, microorganisms could indeed exist in a suspended, indeterminate state, only "choosing" a defined existence when measured. This raises profound implications, suggesting that life, rather than being a strictly classical phenomenon, might operate within a quantum framework, where coherence, entanglement, and wavefunction collapse play a role in biological processes.

If life itself is an expression of genomic oscillations and informational coherence, then quantum effects may be more than just a physical curiosity—they may be a fundamental property of biological existence. The implications extend beyond viruses and bacteria, potentially influencing our understanding of consciousness and evolution.

As theoretical and experimental efforts continue, one question remains at the forefront:

Is life itself a quantum phenomenon?
