“COOPERATION” EVOVED BEFORE LIFE
(riffing off sabine)

Systems of molecules mutually benefiting each other are the most likely origin of life. “Life is an inevitable consequence of a universe that’s biased to opportunistically increase complexity.”

Our framing of this phenomenon as “cooperation” requires we distinguish between accidental interaction, physical cooperation, cellular cooperation, reproductive cooperation, productive cooperation, and voluntary cooperation, and systems of voluntary cooperation(institutions).

We refer to that hierarchy as ‘evolutionary computation’ of persistence by the defeat of entropy through the capture and concentration of energy, producing ‘work’.
