I'm still interested in any viable theory as to how random chemical processes are able to garner enough information in their own structure to replicate themselves.
That is, Von Neumann showed us that to have a self-replicating automaton we need both the factory and the information for the factory (saved within it). We know that's what a cell is. But how do random chemical processes get there?
Note: time works against chemical processes since the organic chemical compounds decay, keep that in mind when creating a hypothesis.
Note 2: remember that in this case, both the factory & the information gets randomly mutated until you have a factory and information that's complex enough to error correct.
