(Short Paper06) Plant-Animal Differentiation and Coexistent Natural Circulation Model in the In Vivo Quantum Processing Unit (QPU) Paradigm

This short paper redefines the evolutionary divergence from the Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA) into the plant and animal kingdoms through the theoretical framework of the In Vivo Quantum Processing Unit (QPU) paradigm. Moving beyond conventional ecological and physiological models based on trophic levels and reciprocal respiration/photosynthesis, we formalize the plant-animal symbiotic relationship as a “planetary-scale quantum hardware (31 P nuclear spin memory) cycling system” coupled with a “functional division of labor between dual-clock supply architectures and centralized high-order QPU arrays.” We demonstrate that the complementary bifurcation into a distributed substrate (plants)—converting and supplying inorganic phosphorus into organic quantum elements (Posner molecules and ATP)—and centralized computing nodes (animals)—consuming these elements to execute high-order locomotion and cognitive processing—was a physical imperative to overcome ambient thermal decoherence, avoid resource depletion, and sustain the planetary ecological QPU network.
