Chiral Inversion in Alien Biochemistry: Could Life Exist as Our Molecular Mirror?

Structured Resonance & Emergent Intelligence 🔹 Structured Resonance and the Nature of Intelligence Abstract Life on Earth follows a strict chiral preference—right-handed DNA (B-DNA), left-handed amino acids (L-amino acids). This asymmetry is an emergent property of structured resonance in planetary conditions. But what if life arose under different chiral conditions? This paper explores how planetary spin, electromagnetic fields, and cosmic influences could favor an inverted biochemical landscape, leading to life with left-handed DNA and right-handed proteins. Using the CODES (Chirality of Dynamic Emergent Systems) framework, we analyze the mathematical and physical feasibility of mirror-life and its implications for astrobiology.
