Abstract

Abstract This paper introduces a novel paradigm for aging that reinterprets biological senescence as a progressive decoherence of biological resonance fields, rather than a simple accumulation of cellular damage. Aging, we argue, is fundamentally an entropic phenomenon, where systemic synchronization breaks down across molecular, cellular, and cognitive scales, leading to loss of energy efficiency, structural deterioration, and perceptual time compression. Integrating quantum decoherence theory, resonance dynamics, and nonlinear thermodynamics, we propose that longevity is not merely a function of genetic or biochemical integrity, but of coherence maintenance across biological oscillatory systems. Specifically, we examine how phase stability within metabolic cycles, mitochondrial function, neural oscillations, and epigenetic regulation directly correlates with both subjective time perception and lifespan extension. We further explore whether time itself is an emergent property of coherence gradients, and whether interventions aimed at restoring biological phase-locking could modulate perceived time, slow down biological aging, and enhance cognitive efficiency. Experimental methodologies for validating this hypothesis are outlined, including: • Molecular phase-locking studies to analyze coherence shifts in aging cells. • Neurological synchrony measurements to assess time perception dilation as a function of cognitive coherence. • Metabolic oscillation modeling to determine whether biological time scales can be artificially extended. If aging is indeed a decoherence-driven loss of informational structure, then the implications extend beyond biology into cosmology, AI development, and theoretical physics. Understanding and modulating coherence fields may offer a new frontier in both longevity research and the very nature of how organisms experience time.
