abiogenesis is reconceptualized as a thermodynamic event that opened up new energy flow channels on Earth to facilitate entropy production. And as these channels emerged and expanded to relieve thermodynamic pressure, the increased energy flow stimulated further chemical and biological self-organization, eventually giving rise to the interconnected
