THE THEORY OF GEOCHEMICAL PULTIVATION: DISTRIBUTED ABIOGENESIS IN NON-EQUILIBRIUM ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract This paper presents an original conceptual model of the origin of life — the theory of geochemical pultivation. It overcomes the limitations of probabilistic approaches and single-locus abiogenesis models by considering life as a natural result of the prolonged, spatially and temporally distributed work of the physicochemical environment acting as an algorithmic selector. The central concepts are: the "Mixer of the Environment" (a planetary mixer and a control panel of factors), "Intelligent Polymerization", "Primordial Factories", and the "Compression of Life". Twelve physical principles are formulated, explaining the emergence of information, recording accuracy through complementarity, adaptation via mutational plasticity and recombination, compartmentalization, the origin of the genetic code, homochirality, metabolism, and co-inheritance. The model is consistent with the latest experimental data and proposes a program of falsifiable verification (the "Sheikh Nauk Experiment"). Special attention is paid to resolving the code–interpreter paradox, comparing the theory with modern approaches to the origin of information, and analysing the transition to the conformational language of proteins and the cycle of environmental correction of protein language.
