Metaphysicality: Autocells and Evolution

One of the themes that interest this writer that is reflected in the content of this blog is the self organization of living systems as it relates to evolution, which I last visited by posting a video by Dr Kaku on free will and physics, as well as in my own thesis of "Non Material Extraterrestrials" in terms of life requiring more and more complex systems as a developmental process which we share.

Here is a fascinating essay on same

Reciprocal catalysis and self assembly give each other a helping hand, as each produces what the other one needs. Reciprocal catalysis produces a local concentration of molecules, but without anything to keep them in place, they will soon wander so far apart that they will no longer be able interact. However, the local concentration of molecules is just what self assembly needs to build a barrier around the catalysts, thus encapsulating them.
"The very thing that you need to do to keep these independent catalysts together is what they produce as a consequence," said Deacon. "The result is that containers contain the stuff that is necessary to make them."
