Here is a gallery of images that I gathered circa June, 2024–just prior to coming under severe cyberattack (and physical attack) and losing access to my research materials, physical library, and digital reference collections and being forced to flee the country.
I had planned to make a series of short eductional videos for TikTok, which would have served as a comprehensive introduction to my theory and preliminary research of crystalline abiogenesis.
Unfortunately, it took me years to recover this simple selection of photos and any reliable access to the internet or the means to publish them—and I’m afraid that now, having been locked out of my main account, they will have to be relegated to a static visual gallery here until I am able to formalize a research paper.
Hopefully with exact biochemical details, listed in a prior post (although this is not my natural field, and I need to gather more primary evidence) I will have formulated a compelling hypothesis for the exact conditions of liquid crystalline abiogenesis, that includes wet/dry cycles in somewhat muddy environs, leading to cyclical chaining of basic pre-organic viscous crystal-polymer compounds until they reach a type of self-structuring coherence; the evolutionary engine starts as basic physical laws and natural geology under thermodynamic breath provided by the water and sun—the rest is a chain of inevitable diversification and self-organizing adaptations to the environment.
In any case, I feel that geobiology is best intuited, and seen to be felt, and I actually like very much that it takes very little academic discourse to be comprehensive and comprehensible as a theory on the nature and origin of life.
The breakthrough is really as simple leap in logic, although it required years of collective scientific efforts from multiple different fields to lay it on the threshold of realization, so to speak.
Of course life flows from the same principle that organizes raw stone into symmetrical, self-organizing patterns. Of course the crystalline shapes of plants and animals have a microscopic precursor. When we look at the world—the formless chaos of clouds and mountain ranges, and classify these against the order of basic crystalline structures, the insight of a common origin appears—not in a catalyst, but in the very nature of the material itself.
Earth’s geology was just a special sauce of astrophysical ruffage that followed the natural logic of physical laws, and began breathing, twining, spreading, stretching, and awakening along with the tides and sunrises of an early planet still in upheaval.
I have not asked, but I imagine that the insight might be presentable (at least as a novel stranger’s theory on the great mystery of life) to anyone in any culture, and perhaps be both interesting and inoffensive in its scientific simplicity.
I think that is cause for gratitude and celebration, of the endlessly creative transformations and all the budding braches of the eternal crystal of life.
ORIGINS : Crystalline self-organization, liquid crystals, liquid crystal polymers, and evidence for early life preserved in the Jack Hills zircon (a poetic crystalline companion to this theory—the time lord crystal)
DIAGRAMS AND REFERENCES : Some preliminary source material and basic physics (it is hard to draw the line at a hard start to chemistry, but the transition from biophysics to biochemistry is there if you are a biochemist, I hypothesize).
EARLY LIFE AND EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY : A gallery of illustrative self-structing life forms and organisms.
COMPLEX BIOLOGY AND LITHIC SYMBIOSIS : A brief menagerie of complex life forms illustrating crystalline symmetry and self-organization, if I may be so bold. I also think one of the most poetic results of this theory is the unique and endearing relationship that humans share with stone, particularly for shaping and structuring both rock and inorganic materials into patterned tools and symbolic representations of phenomenology—or what I call Lithic Symbiosis.
(I originally was going to conclude my videos with a gallery of modern architecture and the Louvre, which I think was pretty cheeky and clever.)
As always, protect, defend, and cherish the eternal crystal of life.
(Possibly slightly out of order infographics describing the core concept and listing the basic equations involved.)
