Quantum Biogenesis Driven by Methylated Colloidal Sulfur Within Diamagnetic Metal Matrices and Prokaryot Self-Assembly

The transition from prebiotic chemistry to functional, self-replicating cellular architectures remains an unresolved milestone in origin-of-life research. While conventional paradigms focus heavily on transition-metal ferromagnetism, the role of quantum spin states and localized diamagnetic gradients in macromolecular organization is largely unexamined. Here we present a comprehensive quantum-biogenesis model wherein homocyclic sulfur (S₈) rings, widely available in primordial aqueous environments, undergo radical methylation under thermal regimes (150°C - 300°C). Computational Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations show that these methylated organosulfur complexes undergo structured topological alignment at interfaces rich in diamagnetic elements, specifically Magnesium (Mg) and Silver (Ag). This diamagnetic matrix imposes an asymmetric localized magnetic shielding gradient, altering the nuclear spin (¹H) precession of neighboring organic groups. Using 2-microsecond Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations, we demonstrate that this directional field acts as a non-enzymatic spatial template, selectively recruiting ambient prebiotic amphiphiles and catalyzing the self-assembly of stable bilayer proto-cellular membranes. Furthermore, the internal Mg-Ag diamagnetic repulsion forces create a lateral pressure profile that induces membrane constriction, driving autonomous proto-cellular division accompanied by template-directed nucleotide oligomerization. This model offers an empirical, mathematically consistent mechanism that unifies geochemical environments with quantum mechanical forces at the dawn of life.

Abstract

The transition from prebiotic chemistry to functional, self-replicating cellular architectures remains an unresolved milestone in origin-of-life research. While conventional paradigms focus heavily on transition-metal ferromagnetism, the role of quantum spin states and localized diamagnetic gradients in macromolecular organization is largely unexamined. Here we present a comprehensive quantum-biogenesis model wherein homocyclic sulfur (S₈) rings, widely available in primordial aqueous environments, undergo radical methylation under thermal regimes (150°C - 300°C). Computational Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations show that these methylated organosulfur complexes undergo structured topological alignment at interfaces rich in diamagnetic elements, specifically Magnesium (Mg) and Silver (Ag). This diamagnetic matrix imposes an asymmetric localized magnetic shielding gradient, altering the nuclear spin (¹H) precession of neighboring organic groups. Using 2-microsecond Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations, we demonstrate that this directional field acts as a non-enzymatic spatial template, selectively recruiting ambient prebiotic amphiphiles and catalyzing the self-assembly of stable bilayer proto-cellular membranes. Furthermore, the internal Mg-Ag diamagnetic repulsion forces create a lateral pressure profile that induces membrane constriction, driving autonomous proto-cellular division accompanied by template-directed nucleotide oligomerization. This model offers an empirical, mathematically consistent mechanism that unifies geochemical environments with quantum mechanical forces at the dawn of life.
