The Physical Laws of Life's Origin: Neutralization Destiny, Memory Inertia, and Electrochemical Lift

This paper proposes a unified physical law for carbon-based life's origin and evolution, proceeding from three physical principles. Neutralization Destiny is the enforcement of the second law of thermodynamics in the charge degree of freedom—all things irreversibly tend toward charge neutralization and minimum energy. Memory Inertia is the synergistic effect of Newton's first law and Ohm's law on the carbon-based carrier—maintenance is automatic; change requires external force; and which path the current maintains is the result of pathway self-reinforcement. Electrochemical Lift is the sole external intervention possessing both vector direction and charge selectivity—the sustained injection of exogenous electrochemical potential gradients, pulling the carbon-based system out of dual lock and propelling it into an ordering process. The synergistic action of these three laws sequentially unfolds vesicles, RNA, DNA, micro-reaction networks, internalization of pulsation, and the emergence of life on the carbon-based framework. The Life Force Equation, Ψ = E + M − N, is the precise mathematical expression of this three-way game, within whose boundaries all states of the carbon-based system can be rigorously defined. The equation further reveals that death is not a single event, but the unified description of two physically distinct terminations—Energy-depletion Death (E→0) leading to structural collapse, and Inertia-locked Death (M→1) leading to pulsation freezing. From the micro-reaction network in the primordial soup to the global power grid of human civilization, all are the sequential unfolding of the same set of physical laws at different scales. This paper presents a complete prediction-verification system, decomposing the entire deduction into independently testable predictions, each accompanied by explicit observational protocols and falsification conditions. Some predictions have already received direct support through independent statistical analyses of public databases, re-verification of published experiments, and imaging-based tests at the organ scale.

Abstract

This paper proposes a unified physical law for carbon-based life's origin and evolution, proceeding from three physical principles. Neutralization Destiny is the enforcement of the second law of thermodynamics in the charge degree of freedom—all things irreversibly tend toward charge neutralization and minimum energy. Memory Inertia is the synergistic effect of Newton's first law and Ohm's law on the carbon-based carrier—maintenance is automatic; change requires external force; and which path the current maintains is the result of pathway self-reinforcement. Electrochemical Lift is the sole external intervention possessing both vector direction and charge selectivity—the sustained injection of exogenous electrochemical potential gradients, pulling the carbon-based system out of dual lock and propelling it into an ordering process. The synergistic action of these three laws sequentially unfolds vesicles, RNA, DNA, micro-reaction networks, internalization of pulsation, and the emergence of life on the carbon-based framework. The Life Force Equation, Ψ = E + M − N, is the precise mathematical expression of this three-way game, within whose boundaries all states of the carbon-based system can be rigorously defined. The equation further reveals that death is not a single event, but the unified description of two physically distinct terminations—Energy-depletion Death (E→0) leading to structural collapse, and Inertia-locked Death (M→1) leading to pulsation freezing. From the micro-reaction network in the primordial soup to the global power grid of human civilization, all are the sequential unfolding of the same set of physical laws at different scales. This paper presents a complete prediction-verification system, decomposing the entire deduction into independently testable predictions, each accompanied by explicit observational protocols and falsification conditions. Some predictions have already received direct support through independent statistical analyses of public databases, re-verification of published experiments, and imaging-based tests at the organ scale.
