Abstract The origins of life on Earth remain one of the most profound and debated questions in science. Traditional abiogenesis models describe a gradual, stochastic emergence of self-replicating molecules from a primordial soup, but these approaches often fail to explain the underlying self-organizing principles that drive life’s emergence. This paper applies CODES (Chirality of Dynamic Emergent Systems) to model the emergence of life as a structured, phase-locked process rather than a purely random event. We argue that life arose via structured energy condensation within geochemical networks, where oscillatory phase-locking between organic chemistry, environmental cycles, and autocatalytic feedback loops led to self-replicating molecular systems. ✔ Life is an emergent resonance phenomenon—phase-locked chemical oscillations produced structured autocatalysis. ✔ Chiral asymmetry in biomolecules (e.g., amino acids, sugars) results from structured energy resonance, not randomness. ✔ Geothermal vents acted as structured phase-coherent environments, catalyzing proto-life through electrochemical and thermal gradients. ✔ RNA and metabolism likely co-emerged as a resonance network, not separately as competing theories suggest. By reframing abiogenesis as a structured resonance-driven system, we provide a unifying framework that integrates chemistry, physics, and biological self-organization into a coherent, predictive model of life’s emergence.
