To replicate information, life usually has fairly straightforward ways of doing things.

    It kinda had to at some point right? DNA didn’t exist until something other than DNA led to it.

      That’s abiogenesis in a nutshell.

        Did somebody ever try to recreate the bion experiments? I’m pretty sure Reich is considered a quack nowadays, but makes sense to just observe things with a good enough microscope and patience, one could observe abiogenesis in some form

          If you’re aware of Reich you might already have heard of René Thom’s theory of morphogenesis and how he modeled it. If not see below.
