English Presentation New Biology: The End of Intellectual Slavery and the Dawn of the Science of Information Ladies and gentlemen, fellow thinkers, Today, I present to you not a simple collection of books, but a manifesto. A declaration of freedom for biological science, long shackled to a 19th-century dogma that refuses to die: evolutionism. The five volumes of "New Biology" resolutely declare, based on overwhelming empirical evidence, "The Announced Death of Evolutionism". For over 150 years, biology has operated under an illusion, a "modern myth" that ascribes creative powers to blind, unintelligent entities: Chance, Time, Natural Selection, and Emergence. This compendium performs a rigorous autopsy of these theories, demonstrating their utter "incompetence" to explain the central phenomenon of life. The Central Axiom: The Quaternity of Life "New Biology" stands on a new and solid foundation, a causal architecture we call the Quaternity of Life: Intelligence → Text → Machine → System Intelligence ("Precedent Wisdom"): The primary cause. We argue that functionally specified information—the most fundamental characteristic of life—has intelligence as its only adequate causal source. The complexity and ingenuity observed in the biological world are the signature of a "Precedent Wisdom". Text (The Biological Logos): Life is, fundamentally, an informational and linguistic phenomenon. Every living being is generated from "Biological Texts". DNA is not just a molecule; it is a code, a language with syntax, grammar, and semantics, the origin of which chemistry cannot explain. Machine (The Execution of the Text): The "Text" is executed by molecular "Machines" of unheard-of sophistication—proteins, enzymes, ribosomes. Their existence creates an irreducible paradox, the "Text-Machine Duality": the instruction manual (Text) to build the machine is written in a language that only the machine itself can read. A gradualist system cannot explain this simultaneous origin. System (The Integrated Architecture): Machines do not operate in isolation. They form integrated "Systems"—from metabolic pathways to the complex communication network that defines the "Integrated Biocosm". Symbiotic relationships are not the result of a blind "co-evolution," but the execution of pre-coordinated programs. The Verdict Through this new lens, the old pillars of evolutionism crumble: Natural Selection is stripped of its creative power, relegated to a mere "passive filter" that eliminates the defective but is "incompetent to compose". Deep Time, that "incompetent god," is revealed as an alibi, incapable of solving the mathematical and informational impossibility of spontaneous creation. "New Biology" is not an end to inquiry; it is its true beginning. It invites us to a "re-enchanted science," one that is not afraid to ask questions about purpose and meaning. It is a call to exchange the "slavery" to a materialist myth for the freedom to explore life as it truly presents itself: a work of informational engineering, the expression of a "Logos" whose depth and ingenuity continue to inspire our wonder.
