Proposes that atomic information could influence future organisms' development.
Highlights the need for experimental studies to resolve the decoherence issue.

Abstract

This paper introduces the Bioatomic Information Continuity Hypothesis (BICH), a multidisciplinary speculative framework that investigates whether the atoms constituting a living organism may preserve physically meaningful information through biogeochemical cycling following the organism's death. Drawing on quantum unitarity, epigenetic inheritance, quantum biology, and cosmological spacetime continuity, BICH poses a structured question: Could the biological and chemical information embedded in an organism's atomic constitution statistically influence the structural development of subsequent organisms through the atomic chain? The hypothesis explicitly identifies its principal limitation — the decoherence problem — and presents it as the central open question requiring future experimental resolution. BICH is offered as a contribution to the intersection of quantum biology, epigenetics, and theoretical neuroscience.. Version 6.0. Independent Researcher, Turkey, 2026. Nine disciplines: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Neuroscience, Mathematics, Cosmology, Geography, History.
