This work presents a theoretical result within the ψ₀-OCM (Osborne Cosmological Model), demonstrating that the emergence, persistence, and absence of life admit a unified scientific explanation based on stabilization under sustained energy–information redistribution. Rather than invoking fine-tuning or anthropic selection, the framework shows that biological systems arise generically wherever boundary-mediated stabilization enables long-lived structural coherence and adaptive feedback. The paper establishes conceptual priority for interpreting life as a high-order stabilization phase of cosmological dynamics. It integrates insights from cosmology, astrobiology, planetary science, and deep biosphere research, and applies the stabilization principle to subsurface ecosystems, ocean worlds such as Europa and Enceladus, and the contrasting case of Mars. The analysis remains explanatory and structural in scope, without proposing detailed biochemical mechanisms or claiming experimental verification.
