Primordial Prescription (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780965798822)

This book addresses the most fundamental questions remaining for life origin research: **How did molecular evolution generate metabolic recipe and instructions using a representational symbol system? **How did prebiotic nature set all of the many configurable switch-settings to integrate so many interdependent circuits? **How did inanimate nature sequence nucleotides to spell instructions to the ribosomes on how to sequence amino acids into correctly folding protein molecular machines? **How did nature then code these symbol-system instructions into Hamming block codes, to reduce noise pollution in the Shannon channel? **What programmed the error-detection and error-correcting software that keeps life from quickly deteriorating into non-life from so many deleterious mutations? **In short, which of the four known forces of physics organized and prescribed life into existence? Was it gravity? Was it the strong or weak nuclear force? Was it the electromagnetic force? How could any combination of these natural forces and force fields program decision nodes to prescribe future utility? **Why and how would a prebiotic environment value, desire or seek to generate utility? **Can chance and/or necessity (law) program or prescribe sophisticated biofunction? **The most plaguing problem of life origin science remains: What programmed, in a prebiotic environment, the Primordial Prescription and Processing of such sophisticated, integrated biofunction? That is the subject of this book.
