Isomeric Change (Quantum Jump)

A discontinuous rearrangement of atoms between isomeric states, representing a mutation in the gene molecule.

implements
The model that a gene is a huge molecule capable of discontinuous isomeric changes, providing quantum stability and explaining mutations.

Stochastic swapping of cell pairs in the genome to create variation.

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

Quantum Jumpconcept0.809
Discontinuous transition between quantized energy states in atoms/molecules; proposed as mechanism for mutation and stable state switching.
Mutations are quantum jumps between isomeric states of the gene molecule.claim0.778
The discontinuous, jumping nature of mutations is explained by the discrete energy levels of the gene molecule.
If mutations are isomeric jumps between states with different energy levels separated by a high barrier, then the forward and reverse mutation rates should differ, with the transition from higher to lower energy occurring more frequently.hypothesis0.734
Hypothesis on the directionality of mutation rates.
