Neutralization Destiny and Electrochemical Lift: The Physical Underpinnings of Life's Origin and Evolution

This paper takes three physical principles as its foundation to deduce the origin and evolution of life... This paper takes three physical principles as its foundation to deduce the origin and evolution of life: first, Neutralization Destiny—all things tend toward charge neutralization and minimum energy; second, Electrochemical Lift—the sustained input of exogenous electrochemical potential; third, Electrochemical Counter-Neutralization Steady State—a dynamic nonequilibrium steady state formed in the interplay between the former two. This paper demonstrates that, from molecular-scale vesicles and DNA to civilization-scale language and power grids, all phenomena of life are the inevitable unfolding of these…
