We propose a novel definition of life, asserting its emergence as a phase transition in the universe and rejecting the notion of evolution governed by strict laws.
Together these theories imply that life is expected as a phase transition in the evolving universe, fundamentally changing our understanding of both software and hardware in living cells.
Our research suggests innovative methodologies to explore life’s origins, phylogeny of metabolisms, and to enhance astronomical strategies for detecting life beyond Earth.
This work aims to reconcile mathematical theories with biological origins, emphasizing the spontaneity and creativity inherent in the evolution of life's complexity.
