Life is best defined by its dynamic processes, especially the flow of information within genetic material. The "human act systems" concept from Cybernetics 3 (Cyb3) can be applied at the cellular level as "cellular act systems," where oscillations of genomic elements represent fundamental acts of life. These oscillations may be central to the essence of life.

Levitating Organizational Resonance (LOR) describes structured complexity where seemingly incompatible possibilities coexist and interact, a concept relevant to both biology and language. In living systems, DNA serves as a foundational LOR, existing beyond linear time and described as "unhooked from time-passing," inhabiting a timeless realm. As LOR, DNA can express itself across evolutionary timescales, encoding information that exists as a latent, resonant structure. From the Cyb3 dynamic systems perspective, mRNA illustrates the transient act of 'speaking,' conveying genetic information before it degrades. In contrast, protein synthesis is 'graphing,' the stable recording of biological information that persists, supporting the balance between adaptability and permanence in genomic expression.

This Cyb3-based perspective offers a new approach to studying genomic oscillations by highlighting their active role in biological processes. Cyb3's focus on interconnected systems and dynamic interactions also provides insight into complex diseases, where disruptions in cellular act systems and LOR may be critical.
