Abiogenesis: can timeless processes be invoked to explain the emergence of life from inert matter?

In the research on the origin of life, topics that can be considered reasonably shared by the generality of researchers are initially identified. The application of these principles to the results obtained with the mathematical model for the simulation of aggregative processes developed by the authors (and the subject of previous publications) leads to the conclusion that the primordial formation of self-replicating structures is difficult to reconcile with deterministic aggregative dynamics in the classical sense. Regardless of the extent to which the process is governed by chance or by aggregative codes written in the laws of chemistry, no conventional causality is likely. Indeed, when the model is applied to the simulation of aggregative processes in the absence of guiding elements (that is code-carrying agents, also capable to promote catalytic effects) as is likely to have been the case in the prebiotic world, the repetitive and ordered formation of sufficiently complex structures implies an entropy deficit that is difficult to justify in a classical context. Only one way out seems possible: the existence of information sets that affect the evolution of the system according to modalities other than those that depend on the flow of perceived time. The possibilities offered by quantum mechanics and its most recent interpretations are con-sequently investigated to try to shed some light, at the level of particle physics, on this enigmatic and unconventional con-jecture.
