CONSIDERATIONS OF FROHLICHS BOSE-EINSTEIN-LIKE CONDENSATION

The so-called Frohlich effect - consisting of a conjectured coherent b ehavior of boson-like excitations in biological and molecular polymers - is fully derived and analyzed in terms of a thermo-mechanical theor y. This is the so-called informational statistical thermodynamics, bas ed on a generalization of Gibbs statistical theory to systems far from equilibrium. Moreover, it is shown that when double (or multiple) pro cesses of excitation of the boson system are possible there follows a positive-feedback phenomenon that greatly favors and enhances the effe ct.
