Gilbert Ling's work (http://gilbertling.org) on structured cellular water sounds similar in the sense of involving protein and phase as well as passivity (or lack) of membrane. Does anyone know if there's a generalization of these concepts into something like “statistical molecular mechanics”?

Biophysics and biochemistry would both fit the bill.

I would not take the site you linked seriously - it's the ramblings of a crackpot. If you happen to have a biology background and would like to debate this, I'd be happy to elaborate.

No need to debate, I have no idea what I'm talking about! But here's another recent study that (to my lay mind) also seems to be in this space: https://phys.org/news/2018-11-conventional-wisdom-cell-membr....
