Fractal Sparse-Origin Hypothesis of Cosmic Life Distribution
The Fractal Sparse-Origin Hypothesis (FSOH) proposes that abiogenesis is not a repeatable or probabilistically common phenomenon across large astrophysical regions. Instead, life emerges only once within any high-scale cosmic domain—such as a galaxy or multi-galaxy cluster—due to extreme fractal sparsity in the boundary conditions required for biological origin. The hypothesis models abiogenesis as a measure-zero intersection in a high-dimensional space of chemical asymmetries, environmental anisotropies, thermodynamic fluxes, and transient boundary states. In this framework, habitability is necessary but not predictive: many environments may satisfy known criteria for life, yet only one statistically unique site reaches the fractal boundary intersection where life can emerge. FSOH provides a resolution to the Fermi Paradox without invoking extinction events, civilizational behavior, or universal Great Filters. It predicts that Earth represents the singular life-bearing anchor of our cosmic region, and that no independent abiogenesis event will be detected within the Milky Way.
