Quantum Biology and Topological Abiogenesis: Dissipative Self-Replication and the Entropic Desert in QGEFT

The present QGEFT benchmark supports a dissipative self-replication phase rather than a merely passive topological defect. In the sparse `N=2048` Einstein-like background, a protected 12-node double-helix seed expands to `1260` colony nodes (`61.5%` occupancy) with final motif density `≈ 0.9996`, but only by paying a macroscopic thermodynamic toll of `1550` remote entropy-dump edge cuts for `624` successful replication events. Over the same run, the host giant-component fraction collapses from `0.9771` to `0.7734`, while the remote noncolony mean degree falls from `4.00` to `0.77`. By contrast, the denser `N=512` and `N=1024` controls replicate to higher occupancy while leaving the host manifold almost fully connected. The current evidence therefore supports a background-sensitive abiogenesis-like phase in which local topological order grows by exporting disorder into the surrounding vacuum, with a true entropic desert forming only on sufficiently sparse macroscopic backgrounds.
