Scientific Essay from the year 2019 in the subject Biology – Cytology, language: English, abstract: How did life begin? Why are amino acids left-handed (homochiral) in living organisms? This paper suggests that these questions can be approached by analysing computational constraints in complex dynamical systems (chemical or not) that are not in equilibrium. I will propose a model based on the behavior of dynamic billiards on billiard tables shaped like asymmetry graphs (A-graphs) constructed from Wolfram random cellular automaton #30 and Wolfram complex cellular automaton #110. The model entails an abstract geometrical illustration of the co-emergence of left-homochirality and complexity. It is proposed that complexity and homochirality are co-emergent phenomena based on the formulation asymmetriy and entropy leads to complexity. Consequently, life may not necessarily depend on carbon-water chemistry on worlds in the ‘Goldilocks’ zone.
