Abstract
Attempting to understand life's origin is finding a hypothetical sequence of physicochemical steps (based on distinct logical conditions) that lead to individuals with a life-like genetic apparatus. An oligomer emerges that is able to replicate. It must be homochiral to allow precise interlocking between template and growing replicate. Life evolves on the planet: symmetry breaking, emergence of homochirality.
