This work identifies molecular chirality (χ = (nD−nL) / (nD+nL) ) as the first measurable order parameter for the transition from non-life to life. Building on Φ-stable theory, χ undergoes a supercritical pitchfork bifurcation at critical energy flux J_χ, defining three phases: racemic chemistry (JJₗifeᶜrit). Homochirality lowers the energy threshold for life. Anchored in QT45 ribozyme, CISS assemblies, supramolecular structures, and heterochiral membranes. Five falsifiable predictions included.
