Abstract：
:This paper treats evidence for an increasing recognition of a force with intangible properties in biosystems with special reference to its ability to transport electrons at near 0 degree Kelvin. It is implied that such force, whose demonstration at these temperatures is an experimental contrivance to emphasise its strictly quantal status, can be operative at room temperature. A discussion is entered as to a mode for delivery of intangible energy from demonstrable non-local origins, locally to the cell to provide for structure and function. Extensive use is made of theory of the structure of the photon from de Broglie and others to accommodate a co-existence of real (electromagnetic) and quantal (intangible) fields within the photon and to discuss how such co-existence may have been copied or otherwise made manifest in a macroscopic structure such as the cell. Cell function is then viewed as concurrent real and intangible effects following stimuli derived from perturbation of the real or electromagnetic component.
