summary

 


Hypothesis:

  • 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 norms of earth life;

  • 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 - some Speculations

  • That Titan might be an 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 thermodynamic mechanisms...
