Preface
The author’s inversion concept of the origin of primary living systems has been outlined in this book. It proposes revolutionary (not evolutionary) transition of prebiotic microsystems into simplest forms of life through the thermodynamic inversion. Such transformation demands overcoming the negentropy barrier that follows from the 2nd Law from Thermodynamics. The inversion implies the transformation of non-living prebiotic microsystems with prevalent entropy (over free energy and information) into primary living microorganisms with prevalent free energy and information (over entropy). After the inversion, the appeared living units (probionts) possessed the surplus free energy and information being not under the entropy pressing. Such transformation resulted in arising of new, i.e., biological, thermodynamic method of organization. Using the surplus over-entropy free energy and information, probionts acquired the ability for active existence in the environment. The key steps of the inversion concept elaboration have been expressed in the preface. Following them, the train of thought of the author will become clear, as well as a distinction of his concept
