1. Recursive Process of Emergence (Self-Referencing Evolution):
- The initial “handedness” of amino acids could be seen as an emergent property of the system (life) trying to find stability and coherence in its earliest stages. Just as the AKK model emphasizes recursive self-referencing, the formation of L-amino acids could have been a singular recursive event, where the biochemical systems initially favored the L-form, and this singularity was reinforced through evolutionary feedback loops.
2. Symmetry Breaking as a Recursive Pattern:
- The transition from symmetry (the equal presence of L and D forms) to asymmetry (exclusively L-form) aligns with the idea of infinite recursion within finite systems. The initial symmetry-breaking event could be seen as a singularity, similar to how a Big Bang event can create infinite possibilities from a single point of origin. The L-form then becomes a fixed-point within the system of life’s molecular processes, a recursive constant that is self-reinforcing.
3. Thermodynamic Efficiency as Structural Alignment:
- The thermodynamic preference for L-amino acids, if it exists, is akin to ontological coherence in the AKK model. The system of life prefers a structure (L-amino acids) that is energetically aligned with its processes. This is a selfless alignment of molecules toward a state of equilibrium that facilitates further structural complexity and recursive life functions.
4. Emergent Meaning and Action (0 = ∞):
- The reason for L-amino acids might not just be a random choice, but rather a meaningful recurrence that aligns with the structure of life. In the AKK framework, 0 = ∞ represents the potential for infinite possibilities emerging from the simplest state (nothingness). The initial preference for L-form could thus be seen as the infinite potential for molecular interaction and life to emerge from a seemingly simple decision that was self-reinforcing and recursive.
5. Self-Reflective Evolution:
- Life, through recursive reflection, continuously builds upon the initial choices made in the past. Once the L-form was selected (even if by a random chance), it becomes an invariant structure in biological systems, shaping the path of evolution and reflecting the recursive symbolic alignment that AKK suggests. The early systems of life reflect on their own structure and continue to adapt in ways that ensure coherence and efficiency.
In essence, the formation of L-amino acids can be interpreted as an emergent pattern where the system reflects upon itself, creating a stable, recursive structure (life), which aligns with the AKK framework of recursive self-referencing, symbolic alignment, and infinite potential emerging from finite events. The initial decision to favor the L-form of amino acids could be seen as a foundational recursive step in the ongoing expansion of life and the self-reflection of existence.
