No Miracle Step, Part 4 — Deoxy Takeover: From RNA to DNA

No Miracle Step, Part 4 — Deoxy Takeover: From RNA to DNA

by Marcus Hermansson | Sep 20, 2025 | "Science", Origin of Life & Planetary Chemistry

Deck (standfirst): If the wall “heartbeat” (Part 2) passes and our protocell copying (Part 3) clears the bar, the next step is to feed that system deoxynucleosides made by daylight chemistry and watch whether deoxy content rises cycle by cycle. We stay enzyme-free:...

No Miracle Step, Part 3 — From Heartbeat to Protolife

by Marcus Hermansson | Sep 20, 2025 | "Science", Origin of Life & Planetary Chemistry

Deck: If the wall breathes in Part 2, the next step is to give its chemistry a memory and a reason to persist—by packaging it into protocells, copying with variation, and letting selection do the rest. First, the interface must warm itself (autocatalysis + exotherm)....
No Miracle Step, Part 2: Field Anchors and the Interface‑Heartbeat

No Miracle Step, Part 2: Field Anchors and the Interface‑Heartbeat

by Marcus Hermansson | Sep 20, 2025 | "Science", Origin of Life & Planetary Chemistry

Deck: We pressure‑tested SoL/MVS against fresh field context, tightened the math, and finalized a single pass/fail Interface‑Heartbeat experiment with μW–mW targets. (Jezero was already in Part 1; this post adds Lappajärvi, oxygenation, and the full SOP.) TL;DR Jezero...
No Miracle Step: The Spark‑of‑Life, Explained (Earth, Mars and K2‑18b)

No Miracle Step: The Spark‑of‑Life, Explained (Earth, Mars and K2‑18b)

by Marcus Hermansson | Sep 14, 2025 | "Science", Origin of Life & Planetary Chemistry

TL;DR — The origin of life doesn’t require a one-off miracle. It needs a battery (H₂/CO₂ energy), a container (vesicles, pores, or droplets), a clock (cycles like tides/day–night), and mixing. Those four pieces drive autocatalysis, which eventually yields...
