A Corollary of the Conant-Ashby Theorem Applied to Abiogenesis

Abstract

From the Conant-Ashby theorem about the "good regulator" is possible to derive a corollary about the origin of life (OOL). This corollary introduces the concept of "good constructor." Thenit is shown as nature, seen as a material system ruled by the laws of physics, cannot be a "good constructor" of the basic machinery necessary for a living cell. As a consequence OOL needs intelligent design.
