Abiogenesis and Accelerated Eukaryogenesis
This brief outlines a deterministic, gradient-driven framework for the origin of life and the rapid emergence of eukaryotic cellular structures on early Earth. It integrates planetary-scale energy gradients, dynamic chemical cycling, and regional divergence in evolutionary progression.

Recursive Coherence in Abiogenesis: A Thermodynamic and Information-Theoretic Framework
This paper introduces a unified theoretical framework for the origin of life, grounded in physics, information theory, and systems dynamics. We present the concept of recursive coherence as the critical threshold that distinguishes living from non-living matter.
