The self-organizing fractal theory as a universal discovery method: the phenomenon of life
A universal discovery method potentially applicable to all disciplines studying organizational phenomena has been developed. This method takes advantage of a new form of global symmetry, namely, scale-invariance of self-organizational dynamics of energy/matter at all levels of organizational hierarchy, from elementary particles through cells and organisms to the Universe as a whole. The method is based on an alternative conceptualization of physical reality postulating that the energy/matter comprising the Universe is far from equilibrium, that it exists as a flow, and that it develops via self-organization in accordance with the empirical laws of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. It is postulated that the energy/matter flowing through and comprising the Universe evolves as a multiscale, self-similar structure-process, i.e., as a self-organizing fractal. This means that certain organizational structures and processes are scale-invariant and are reproduced at all levels of the organizational hierarchy. Being a form of symmetry, scale-invariance naturally lends itself to a new discovery method that allows for the deduction of missing information by comparing scale-invariant organizational patterns across different levels of the organizational hierarchy
Stabilization of metastable hydrogen trioxide (HOOOH) and the hydrotrioxyl radical (HOOOradical dot) by complexation with sulfuric acid. A theoretical study
The formation of bimolecular complexes of HOOOH and the HOOOï° radical with sulfuric acid (H2SO4â HOOOH, H2SO4âHOOOï°) has been investigated by using DFT (B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,3pd)) and CCSD(T)- F12 methods. For the first time the structures and the binding energies (BEs) for the various isomeric hydrogen-bonded complexes have been reported. The results reveal an unusually stable H2SO4âHOOOH eight-membered ring structure with two relatively strong hydrogen bonds, and with a calculated BE (CCSD(T)-F12) of 12.7 kcal molï°1. This is equivalent to the BE in the H2SO4âHOOH complex investigated at the same theoretical level. The complexation of HOOOï° with H2SO4 stabilizes this metastable polyoxide intermediate by about 10.0 kcal molï°1
