The First Void: Abiogenesis as Thermodynamically Mandated Pe=1 Crossing

Key Points

The research aims to explore the thermodynamic aspects of abiogenesis during the origin of life.
Developed a model for abiogenesis based on thermodynamic principles
Analyzed the transition from drift-dominated to diffusion-dominated systems
Identified Pe=1 as a critical point in the transition of prebiotic chemistry
Demonstrated how information processing changes during abiogenesis

Abstract

Models the origin of life as a thermodynamically mandated Pe=1 crossing, where prebiotic chemistry transitions from drift-dominated to diffusion-dominated information processing.
