This work shows the role of chirality in energy flux defining life phases, suggesting implications for supramolecular structures.
This work identifies molecular chirality (χ = (n_D−n_L)/(n_D+n_L)) 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 (J<J_χ), chiral non-life (J_χ<J<J_life^crit), and Φ-stable life (J>J_life^crit). Homochirality lowers the energy threshold for life. Anchored in QT45 ribozyme, CISS assemblies, supramolecular structures, and heterochiral membranes. Five falsifiable predictions included.
