Constant Flux to Extinction

Everything is meant to be extinct. By that I mean, stability is not a virtue of entropy. It is the matter claiming the freedom to exist in every possible ways it can, and stability defies this right.

As there is a constant flux to extinction, there is a positive feedback for existence by the degree of stability a certain structural feature has. That is where everything has started.

Part 1

In the beginning, all kinds of molecules existed. They tend to come and go. Only the most stable ones tend to prevail. Then they started to interact with each other, because basically there were lots of them around.

As with the stability of self, there began the stability of interactions that decided which ones to be preserved. It was the evolution of stability from one form to another. Forming anything "living" was not even a concern. Yet, at some point, stability discovered the most amazing thing: to copy itself.

The evolution of reproducibility has led to the concept of memory. Different types of memories existed. Most of them probably consisted of sequences of different types of molecules coming together. The most stable sequences prevailed.

When different types of memories found ways of interacting with each other, even to turn into each other, the existence of less stable ones were boosted. At some point, one of these less stable ones managed to change the chemical composition around it. The first catalyst has evolved. The information and the interactions that lead to this catalyst should have been conserved when the right combination appeared to reduce the environmental stress for existence.

Ways of forming new memories, reproduction techniques and types of catalysis all evolved in time, which at the end fitted into our definition of life.
