Reframing Natural Selection as a prebiotic thermodynamic process. Looking for any science critique - before I take it further in the publication journey. Comments welcome. arxiv.org/abs/2504.17975 #biophysics #abiogenesis #evolution #astrobiology #physics #science #Blueskyscience
A Thermodynamic Model for the Emergence of Natural Selection in Prebiotic Reaction Networks
We present a simplified thermodynamic model for the emergence of natural selection in prebiotic systems, derived from the dynamics of energy flow through reaction chains. The model expresses persisten...

A General Theory of Abiogenesis: Thermodynamic Selection and the Emergence of Life
The origin of life is often approached through the lens of replication, heredity, or molecular specificity. This paper proposes a thermodynamic framework in which the emergence of life is driven by th...
