Information & the RNA World
How information became chemistry, and chemistry became life.
Before DNA, before cells, before metabolism, there was a stranger world built on RNA. How did information first enter the universe of molecules? How did simple polymers learned to copy themselves? Errors would become evolution and structure would become function. From ribozymes to autocatalytic networks, these artifacts trace the ideas that transformed RNA from an inert chain of nucleotides into the first system capable of storing memory, shaping behavior, and driving natural selection. This is the story of how information seeded biology.
