ABSTRACT

Starting from the premise that the cell translates noise in its environment to sound using the logic of its existence raises the question as to how and why it does so? The working hypothesis is that the cell is an agent for detecting change in the environment in order to maintain homeostatic equipoise, given that the environment is ever-changing due to the on-going expansion of the Cosmos. This is consistent with the larger hypothesis that the cell’s role is to communicate with the environment and with other cells. When the noise is extreme, it leads to loss of homeostasis, forcing the cell to remodel in order to adapt, given that it is self-referential and self-organizing.
