This paper proposes a unified framework in which biology and physics are continuous manifestations of a single evolving causal web governed by two fundamental organizing principles: locality and relativity of local causalities. Local causal interactions constitute the elementary currency of change within this dynamic web. Persistence (memory) and stability emerge as relatively stable local interactions embedded in an ever-changing network. Apparent top-down or bottom-up causation does not represent a distinct causal category but arises from the accumulated history of local interactions. Reconceptualizing biology as a causal network in which natural selection shows as an emergent effect allows us to view the physical world as a seamless continuation of the same web operating acrossdifferent boundaries. Mass, forces, and motion are reinterpreted as manifestations and flows of causality governed by the same principles of locality, relationality, and historical embedding. In this framework, relativity is not primarily a theory of inertial frames or the measurement of clocks and rods, but a description of how local causality is dynamically organized and reassigned through relative motion within the network.The quantum domain represents a further extension of this evolving causal web. Experimental choices and measurement outcomes are co-determined by the web’s historical structure, eliminating the need for genuine nonlocality to explain quantum correlations. The universe is thus neither a sterile clockwork governed by eternal Platonic laws nor a collection of disconnected parts; it is a single, interconnected, evolving web.

The corrected, empirically-verified equation for cancer risk from radiation dose D at a particular, specific dose rate is: Y = (Normal cancer risk)(exp(-aD)) + bD, where the first term is the DNA repair enzyme P53 (etc) effect of being stimulated by radiation to reduce damage (radiation unbinds P53 from its MDM2 inhibitor) and the second term, bD, is the usual LNT "law" for uncorrected damage accumulation which increases with dose. Though cientifically justified by data, this currently doesn't pass through the so-called "Overton window"; the range of ideas that are considered "acceptable" at a given time. The Linear No-Threshold (LNT) model, adopted in the late 1950s for radiation protection, assumes cancer risk is strictly proportional to total absorbed dose with no threshold and no beneficial effects. We propose a simple, continuous, biologically grounded replacement law that (i) recovers LNT exactly in the high-dose-rate limit, (ii) quantitatively reproduces observed hormesis at environmental and occupational dose-rates, and (iii) is derived from the known saturation kinetics of the p53—MDM2 DNA-repair system.

Traditionally, the mechanism of enzymatic catalysis has often been explained by the "induced fit" model, but this model struggles to fully account for its exponential catalytic efficiency. This paper proposes a new mechanism: proteases can be viewed as a kind of molecular nuclear magnetic resonance system, where Hu207a or metal ions reversibly coordinate with amino groups, generating an induced electric field, which in turn triggers the formation of an alternating electromagnetic field in the α-helix structure and interacts with the static magnetic field produced by the β-sheet structure. At specific carboxyl groups (with bond characteristics), nuclear magnetic resonance of hydrogen atoms or electrons is excited, thereby generating microwave radiation locally. This microwave promotes the dissociation of substrates into highly reactive free radicals or ions, greatly accelerating the reaction rate. This paper combines quantum tunneling effects with microwave catalysis theory to provide a new physical explanation for the high efficiency of enzyme-catalyzed reactions.
