THE ORIGIN OF LIFE PROBLEM THE S- SPACE SELFORGANIZATION

Abstract

The relevance of the topic, goal, and objectives of the research is substantiated, the purpose of the article is formulated, and a review of recent research and publications is made.

The main part presents the characteristics of the research apparatus (the wave model of S-space, the theory of self-organization of S-space and open complex systems), as well as the results of checking the compliance of the apparatus with the conditions of emergence and signs of life (formulated by the authors on the basis of the data given in the review). The check showed that the device corresponds to the object of study.

Next, a definition of life is given that corresponds to its systemic understanding within the framework of the theory of self-organization. Its advantage, in comparison with the known definitions, is its invariance with respect to the conditions existing on the Ancient Earth, as well as the characteristics of earthly life, which makes it possible to study the problem of the origin of life without reference to earthly conditions. In turn, by specifying specific conditions and features as calibrations, the definition can be adapted to solve specific problems.

This approach allows, based on known data, to formulate a hypothesis about the biocrystalline nature of the first terrestrial living organisms and intermediate forms, their “two-dimensionality”, as well as places of origin, to explain a number of properties of living organisms, in particular, the emergence of heredity, and also to explain the complication and adaptability reactions of abiogenic synthesis at a time when natural selection did not yet exist, resulting from the theory of self-organization of S-space by the general laws of self-organization of open complex systems in a dissipative environment. The mechanism of natural selection can also be considered as one of the possible calibrations of the general scenario of self-organization realized under terrestrial conditions.

A comparison of this hypothesis with modern ideas about the “Last Universal Common Ancestor” (LUCA) shows their significant similarity.

The conclusions evaluate the theoretical and practical significance of the obtained results.
