Dear Reader,

 

The overall ‘dialectic of Nature’ ontological-categorial progression model for the dialectical partial synthesis category, ‘synphysis’ category, or ‘uniphysis’ category, symbolized by q_pm, in its 6^th model epoch – which includes the macro-cosmological hybridization processes of prokaryote-units-interacting-with-molecule-units, still ongoing today, but only known to occur, so far, on planet Earth – is represented, via the _NQ dialectical language’s ‘dyadic Seldon function’, with that function-form operating upon the ‘Regenerist’ Hypothesis’s “Dark Energy” ‘spandetron’ units’ «arché»-category, q_x, and is, partially [‘¶’], solved by us as follows –

 

q_x²⁶  =  q_x⁶⁴   ¶|-º  

 

q_x <+> q_c <+> q_cx <+> q_r <+>     

 

q_rx <+> q_rc <+> q_rcx <+> q_a <+>

 

q_ax <+> q_ac <+> q_acx <+> q_ar <+>     

 

q_arx <+> q_arc <+> q_arcx <+> q_m <+>

 

q_mx <+> q_mc <+> q_mcx <+> q_mr <+>     

 

q_mrx <+> q_mrc <+> q_mrcx <+> q_ma <+>

 

q_max <+> q_mac <+> q_macx <+> q_mar <+>     

 

q_marx <+> q_marc <+> q_marcx <+> q_p <+>

 

. . . <+> q_pm

 

– with ontological category q_pm partially solved – 

[‘¶|-º’] 

– by us as representing, primarily, the cosmo-ontological category of the process, so observed only, by Terran humans, on planet Terra, of direct ingestions of molecule units, q_m, by prokaryotic cell units, q_p, and the natural formation units, e.g., “black smoker” ecosystems, within which that process is sustained. 

 

 

 

“Prokaryotic Living Cells” and/versus “Molecules”.  Within the above-written cosmological-ontological, dialectical [i.e., ‘multi-«aufheben»-izing’ – ‘multi-meta-unit-izing’] ontological-categorial-progression, is the sub-progression that forms the focus of this blog-entry, namely –

 

 

q_p <x>  q_m    =   q_m <+> q_pm.

 

 

This component-subprocess, categorizing and ‘character-izing’ [i.e., algebra-izing] prokaryotic cell units/molecule units inter-actions, can well-describe later what is believed to have gone on at the sub-oceanic hydrothermal vents, near spreading lines of upwelling magma that drive continental drift.

 

Note: Our research on this hybrid ontological category has been assisted by AI-researchers.

 

Known Planet Earth Instantiations of Category q_pm.  Single-celled organisms known as chemolithoautotrophs “prey” on naked molecules.  Instead of “eating” other living cells, or relying on sunlight for their life-energy, they utilize chemosynthesis to convert inorganic molecules – expelled by deep, sub-oceanic hydrothermal vents – into cellular bio-chemical energy, and internally store biochemical potential energy in the form of organic sugars, produced thereby.

 

These speci-al bacterial and archaeal prokaryotes populate the extreme temperature gradients directly outside of ocean floor “black smoker” chimneys, which serve as the basis for vibrant deep-sea ecosystems.

 

Their Molecular-Metabolic Menu: What They “Eat”.

To sustain their self-reproduction, these prokaryotes require three basic inputs: a carbon source to build cells, an electron donor (the primary food/fuel), and an electron acceptor, to complete their life-reproducing biochemical reaction.

 

 

Carbon Source (To Build Biomass): Carbon dioxide (CO₂).

 

 

Electron Donors (Their “Food”): Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), molecular hydrogen (H₂), methane (CH₄), and ferrous iron (Fe²⁺).  Note that these species belong, in part, in the category of ‘atom-units-eating’ prokaryotic cell units, Seldonian category-symbol q_pa.

Electron Acceptors (their “Breathing” Agent): Oxygen (O₂) from surrounding seawater, sulfate (SO₄^2-), nitrate (NO₃^-), or elemental sulfur (S).  Note that these species belong, in part, in the category of ‘atom-units-eating’ prokaryotic cell units, Seldonian category-symbol q_pa.

 

Key Molecules-Eating Species and Their Molecular-Metabolisms.

 

The prokaryotes at these ridges are ‘taxonified’ into two distinct categories: Archaea (often hyperthermophiles living in the hottest zones) and Bacteria.

 

 

1.  Archaea (The Heat-Loving Extremophiles).

Methanopyrus kandleri: This extreme hyperthermophile thrives on the inner walls of black smokers.  It “eats” H₂ CO₂ to produce methane (CH₄) through methanogenesis.

 

Pyrolobus fumarii: Famous for surviving temperatures up to 113°C (235°F), this archaeon “eats” H₂ and uses nitrate (NO^3-) or thiosulfate as its electron acceptors, to fix CO₂.

 

Geoglobus ahangari: A unique species that can utilize molecular hydrogen (H₂) or organic acids, using ferric iron (Fe^3-) as its electron acceptor.  Note that this species belongs, in part, in the category of ‘atom-units-eating’ prokaryotes, Seldonian category-symbol q_pa.

 

 

 

2. Bacteria (The Primary Ecosystem Drivers)

 

Thiomicrospira species (e.g., Thiomicrospira crunogena): These are rapid-growth sulfur-oxidizing bacteria.  They “eat” toxic [to humans] hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), or thiosulfate, from the vent fluid, and use molecular oxygen (O₂) from the surrounding ocean water to turn CO₂ into organic matter.

 

Sulfurovum lithotrophicum: Belonging to the highly dominant Campylobacterota phylum at the deep-sea vents, it generates energy by oxidizing elemental sulfur, S, or H₂S.  Note that this species belongs, in part, in the category of ‘atom-units-eating’ prokaryotic cell units, Seldonian category-symbol q_pa.

Mariprofundus ferrooxydans: Found further along the gradient, this bacterium “eats” dissolved ferrous iron (Fe^2+), oxidizing it into iron rust to power its metabolic functions.  Note that this species belongs, in part, in the category of ‘atom-units-eating’ prokaryotes, Seldonian category-symbol q_pa.

The units, described above, of prokaryotic living cells that are both ‘atom-units-eating’ and ‘molecule-units-eating’, should be allocated to Seldonian hybrid category q_pma.  

 

Origin of Life Relevance.

Many evolutionary biologists believe that ancient black smokers provided the chemical conditions needed for the Universal Common Ancestor of all Earth life to have evolved, billions of years ago.

 

On the Dialectical Nature of the Opposition Between Prokaryotic Cell units and Molecule units.  The dialectical opposition between the category of atom units and the category of molecule units is one that we cannot directly, sensuously perceive, since both are far too minute for our unaided eyes or fingers to detect.  That opposition is produced via a concrete negation operation, yielding a ‘‘‘negativity’’’, a specific ‘not-ness’, that distinguishes the two.  That [self-]negation operation is not any “abstract negation” operation, that obliterates its operands into a nothingness.  It is a “determinate negation” operation, a allo-«aufheben» allo-operation, by which multiples of molecule units are incorporated into the body of a  single prokaryotic cell unit, negating their ‘mere-molecularity’ determination, but also conserving that ‘molecule-ness’ inside their new ‘cellular-ness’, and uplifting themselves into the higher size/mass/complexity scale of prokaryotic cell units, leaving behind their former molecules-only complexity scale and level.
