What if the same forces that keep Earth spinning in perfect harmony could also guide how we deliver healthcare?
At FYH.News, we’re proud to introduce a groundbreaking new article series developed by the National Minority Quality Forum (NMQF): The Physical Laws Framework (PLF)—a bold reimagining of healthcare policy and practice rooted in the same immutable laws that govern biology, physics, and life itself.
This series isn’t just academic theory. It’s a call to action for those working on the front lines of health equity: researchers, policymakers, physicians, technologists, and everyday advocates looking for systems that truly work for Black, Brown, and marginalized communities.
Why It Matters: Biology Has Rules—Healthcare Should Follow Them
Our first article, “The Problem We Are Solving For: Conservation of High-Quality, Long Lives,” introduces the idea that healthcare systems, like human biology, are governed by physical laws. When policy decisions ignore these laws—whether through delayed care, fragmented systems, or finance-first models—they create measurable harm.
From molecules to community health trends, the human body operates through ordered, delicate systems. The PLF proposes six principles that every healthcare system should respect:
- Conservation of Biological Order
- Energetic Efficiency
- Information Transfer Fidelity
- Temporal Alignment
- Equilibrium Restoration
- Environmental Foundation Integrity
Each principle is explored in depth in the series—with examples that show how failing to follow these laws has real-world consequences for health outcomes, particularly in under-resourced and over-burdened communities of color.
AI, Freedom, and the Future of Health Equity
One of the boldest concepts introduced in the PLF is the idea of “asymptotic freedom”—the idea that accepting biological and physical limits unlocks new liberties. With advances in AI, biochemical surveillance, and predictive diagnostics, it’s now possible to detect and treat disease before symptoms even begin. But only if our systems are structured to serve life, not bureaucracy.
This series explores how servant leadership, predictive biology, and AI can work in concert—not just to manage disease, but to optimize life.
