Molecular Memory Recognition: A Review on the Intrinsic Recognition and Pattern Memory in Matter
Abstract
Sewanu Stephen Godonu
This review explores the hypothesis that atoms and molecules possess intrinsic recognition patterns and a form of primitive memory that guides their behavior, identity, and interactions. The hypothesis, which I term Molecular Memory Recognition (MMR), proposes that matter retains structural, energetic, or informational imprints that serve as internal logic or “recognition signatures.” These intrinsic memories may help explain the fidelity of atomic identity, molecular bonding, biological self-organization, and system adaptability across chemistry, physics, and biology. Drawing on interdisciplinary sources, I present conceptual foundations, supporting evidence, and implications for experimental science, from photoluminescence to bacterial adaptation and quantum state behavior.
