The emergence of collectively autocatalytic sets is an expected phase transition in chemical reaction networks, linked to the increasing diversity of molecular species and reactions.
The TAP RAF union illustrates that as molecular species diversity increases, a phase transition occurs, enhancing the collective autocatalysis necessary for the emergence of life.
Molecules of life are diverse combinatorial objects formed from atoms like Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus, and Sulfur, showcasing complex interaction potential.
This work integrates theories on molecular diversity and autocatalysis, revealing that the evolution of life emerges not from simple deductions but from an intricate, ever-creative process.
