Origins of Life as Information-Phase Transition (Extended)

What the data actually shows

Standard models of origins of life as information-phase transition (extended) predict outcomes that contradict observed data across multiple scales of reality.

Why this is necessary

Without origins of life as information-phase transition (extended), the system would either collapse into trivial simplicity or fragment into incoherent noise.

What current approaches miss

Research has been trapped in reductionist, single-domain thinking that treats origins of life as information-phase transition (extended) as an isolated anomaly rather than a signature of deeper structure.

If this is right

Provides a unified explanation that resolves long-standing paradoxes and opens new research directions across physics, biology, and consciousness studies.
