Geochemical, Hydrodynamic, and Thermodynamic Dynamics of Prebiotic Biogenesis in the "Dancing Bubbles" Model: Revised and Expanded Edition

This paper presents a revised and expanded formulation of the "Dancing Bubbles in the Rocky Womb" model of prebiotic biogenesis. The model proposes that the multiscale porosity of Hadean volcanic basalts and chert formations provided a parallel-processing matrix of independent micro-reactors, resolving the statistical bottleneck of open-ocean abiogenesis theories. Three independent computational approaches to the abiogenesis probability parameter are introduced, counter-arguments are addressed with four mechanisms each, and seven falsifiable experimental predictions are formulated across short-term (5-10 yr) and Long-term (10-30 yr) horizons. The model's compatibility with the reconstructed profile of LUCA (Last Universal Common Ancestor) is demonstrated through phylogenetic and biochemical evidence. A comparative analysis with four competing models (Primordial Soup, Alkaline Hydrothermal Vents, Warm Little Ponds, RNA World) is provided.

Abstract

This paper presents a revised and expanded formulation of the "Dancing Bubbles in the Rocky Womb" model of prebiotic biogenesis. The model proposes that the multiscale porosity of Hadean volcanic basalts and chert formations provided a parallel-processing matrix of independent micro-reactors, resolving the statistical bottleneck of open-ocean abiogenesis theories. Three independent computational approaches to the abiogenesis probability parameter are introduced, counter-arguments are addressed with four mechanisms each, and seven falsifiable experimental predictions are formulated across short-term (5-10 yr) and Long-term (10-30 yr) horizons. The model's compatibility with the reconstructed profile of LUCA (Last Universal Common Ancestor) is demonstrated through phylogenetic and biochemical evidence. A comparative analysis with four competing models (Primordial Soup, Alkaline Hydrothermal Vents, Warm Little Ponds, RNA World) is provided.
