The hypothesis was proposed by chemist Leroy Cronin in 2017 and developed by the team he leads at the University of Glasgow, [2] [3] then extended in collaboration with a team at Arizona State University led by astrobiologist Sara Imari Walker, in a paper released in 2021. [4]
May 4, 2023 · According to assembly theory, before Darwinian evolution can proceed, something has to select for multiple copies of high-AI objects from the Assembly Possible. Chemistry alone, Cronin said, might be capable of that — by narrowing down relatively complex molecules to a small subset.
Mar 7, 2024 · It’s about something called assembly theory, which was created by Sara Walker, Lee Cronin, and colleagues. It has been around for a few years (Marshall et al. 2017, 2021, 2022; Liu et al. 2021 ), and has ruffled some feathers previously within the communities of combinatorial chemistry 2 and complexity science 3 (Uthamacumaran et al. 2022 ).
Assembly Theory . To quantify the emergence of selection and evolution we define what an object is in AT, and the key observable properties of objects so defined - (1) assembly index and (2) copy number. The concept of an object in Assembly Theory is simple and rigorously defined: an object is finite, distinguishable,
