=== User: Thank you. === Thank you. You raised some interesting points. I may wish to return to some of them in the future. Now I wish to turn from looking strictly at the chemistry to consider the rise in biological information in a prebiotic world. Jacques Monod wrote the classic book Chance and Necessity in which he described stochastic processes in nature as "chance" and lawlike processes, such as crystal formation, as "necessity". Monod says that rich information required by biology cannot form through necessity as those processes only repeat. The only way new information can form is through stochastic processes or chance. Do you agree with this summary of the book? Also, others are now claiming that biological information can arise through 'bootstrapping' or reflexive chemistry. I'm skeptical of this claim. All biological communication requires an encoder, the code itself, and a decoder. I do not see how a three-part communication system can arise through two-part reflexive chemistry interactions. Can you explain how someone may see that as plausible?
