JTW's Evolutionary Origins - Author: Dyson, Freeman

A Theoretical Framework For The Origin of Life

I have been trying to imagine a framework for the origin of life, guided by a personal philosophy which considers the primal characteristics of life to be

homeostasis rather than replication,

diversity rather than uniformity,

the flexibility of the genome rather than the tyranny of the gene,

the error tolerence of the whole rather than the precision of the parts.
