The rate of change of assembly, DADT, will go vum sigmoidal as it eats all the food, and the number of E. coli cells will replicate because they take all the food, they copy themselves, the assembly index of all the molecules goes up, up, up, and up until the food is exhausted in the box. So now the E. coli's stopped... I mean, dye is probably a strong word.

They stop respiring because all the food is gone. But suddenly the amount of assembly in the box has gone up gigantically because of that one E. coli factory has just eaten through, milled lots of other E. coli factories, run out of food and stopped. And so that looking at that. So in the initial box, although the amount of assembly was really small,

It was able to replicate and use all the food and go up. And that's what we're trying to do in the lab, actually, is kind of make those kind of experiments and see if we can spot the emergence of molecular networks that are producing complexity as we feed in raw materials and we feed a challenge, an environment. You know, we try and kill the molecules.

And really, that's the main kind of idea for the entire paper.

In very simply, actually, if we, let's say we'll go to Mars with a mass spectrometer with a sufficiently high resolution. So what you have to be able to do, so good thing about mass spec is that you can select the molecule from the mass. And then if it's high enough resolution, you can be more and more sure that you're just seeing identical copies.

You can count them and then you fragment them and you count the number of fragments and look at the molecular weight. And the higher the molecular weight, And the higher the number of the fragments, the higher the assembly index. So if you go to Mars and you take a mass spec or high enough resolution, and you can find molecules, and I'll give you a guide on Earth.

If you could find molecules, say, greater than 350 molecular weight with more than 15 fragments, you have found artifacts that can only be produced, at least on Earth, by life. Now, you would say, oh, well, maybe the geological process. I would argue very vehemently that that is not the case. But we can say, look, if you don't like the cutoff on Earth, go up higher, 30, 100, right?
