Imperative mechanisms of formation of the secondary products in the hypergenesis zone: commonality and relation of their origin
It is shown in the paper that main processes of the global evolution began with water-basalts interaction in the upper part of the Earth crust. The contradictory equilibrium-non-equilibrium system has appeared, which is able to develop eternally by strict thermodynamics laws in spite of any external factors. Herein, water acts as a main factor in system transformation. After photosynthesis appeared, the organic substances got into different geochemical environments created by water-basalts interaction. That defined their further transformation in a way similar to the one that ensured rock evolution. In this case, the common denominator between inert substances and non-living material is water, which controls the main stage of evolution in geological and biological systems, which is formation of fundamentally new compounds. Further, it is shown that abiotic evolution paved the way for initiation and evolution of life, which in turn not only inherited the main geological evolution mechanisms but also created a variety of fundamentally new and more complex compounds and processes such as replication, cells, etc. The global evolution at a first approximation consists of three stages. At the first stage, it was determined by the interaction of water with rocks, essentially with basalts, at the second stage the interaction with photosynthesis products was added, at the third one the interaction with resultant more complex organic matter (proteins, carbohydrates, fats and etc.) took place. A fundamental component of evolution at all the stages remained water, but water with different chemical composition. Moreover, water interacts with increasingly complex compounds created by it. Non-linearity, non-equilibrium state, irreversibility and openness of these systems provided their self-organization and continuous complication, which is the main motive of entire progressive evolution process of our planet. Construction mechanisms of complex compounds take place in inert substances, non-living material, cellulite, alive, social and other systems. Detecting one denominator between inert substances, non-living material and biogenesis matter, and succession/continuity in their development, which seemed to be impossible before, opens fundamentally new ways for learning the world.
