Entropy dissipation, Thermodynamic gradients,
Quasi persistence and Life:
 

   The contention that it's too cold for life on Titan seems reasonable and obviously standard reaction rates render most cryonic systems rigidly un-evolving. However irrespective of such negatives,  in my mind, the amount of organizational freedom available to low energy inter-molecular transforms in the relatively complex Titanian environment seems  perfectly acceptable for driving evolving forms forsaking conventional terrestrial biological constraints...

Titan:
Cryo-Gaian  wonderland
or Exobiological  snoozefest?
 

   Ensoddened by triple-phased methane and boasting plentiful readily available atmospheric organics, Titan seems an especially apt environment for enabling  an array of basic molecular  units to interact reasonably swiftly via likely abundant low energy thermodynamic gradients, opening possibility of variation and selection  acting on predominantly weaker non-chemical intermolecular states of organization, and perhaps creating some cryo-evolutionary weirdness in the process...

• That simple and very general thermodynamic pre-Darwinian selection mechanisms make self perpetuating systems like life a much broader proposition universally ie Regimes significantly outside high/low temperature earth norms - Rough diagram;

• That complex organization via low energy interaction of simple functional units (ie. lowish molecular weight) at cryonic temperatures is a viable means for generating lifelike systems - Simulated abiogenesis;

• That Titan might provide example of a completely non-analogous, self organizing, high energy photochemical tholin/particulate atmospheric cycle, coupled to low energy hydrogen/polar/Van der waalian/radicals perhaps even radiogenically enhanced system, promoting high level structural organization via such (to be elaborated) thermodynamic mechanisms...
