Abstract

The definition, origin and recreation of life remain elusive. As others have suggested, only once we put life into reductionist physical terms will we be able to solve those questions. To that end, this work proposes the phenomenon of life to be the product of two dissipative mechanisms. From them, one characterises extant biological life and deduces a testable scenario for its origin. The proposed theory of life allows its replication, reinterprets ecological evolution and creates new constraints on the search for life.

重新思考生命，预测生命起源。

生命的定义、起源和再创造仍然难以捉摸。正如其他人所说，只有将生命还原成物理术语，我们才能解决这些问题。为此，这部著作提出生命现象是两种耗散机制的产物。根据这两种机制，我们可以描述现存生物生命的特征，并推导出一种可检验的生命起源方案。所提出的生命理论允许生命的复制，重新解释了生态进化，并为寻找生命创造了新的约束条件。
