This paper introduces the Aurovite framework, a system-level evolutionary model for the emergence of biological information from prebiotic chemistry. The model proposes that early evolution occurs within interacting chemical communities capable of maintaining and transmitting organization through compositional memory and reaction-network persistence. Unlike molecule-centric approaches, the Aurovite framework defines information as a property of system-level stability across cycles of growth, division, and environmental interaction. Sequence-based genetic systems emerge gradually from these distributed chemical dynamics, providing a continuous pathway from prebiotic organization to encoded biological information. The framework integrates chemical, ecological, and evolutionary processes into a unified account of early life, addressing key limitations in existing origin-of-life theories.
