More of this later. But, for now, let us return to how life emerged and developed
when the basic requirements, detailed above, were met. As we all know, the sea is
the cradle of life — containing virtually all the chemical elements and compounds
needed for its creation. Further, during atmospheric electrical discharge, the
deformation of space occurs. Water struck by these lightning discharges triggers a
dimensionality level enabling four-valence elements (such as carbon, silicone and
phosphorous) to begin forming chains.

When this occurs, the resulting molecules acquire not only structural differences
but new qualities as well. What are these new qualities that appear when atoms take

on a different structural order? How do we differentiate between atoms of a given
structural arrangement and the same at-oms forming a different structural
arrangement? Why are compounds organic under certain conditions and inorganic
under others?

Let us try to imagine the consequence of these structural differences in the
molecule. Let us start with inorganic structural formation — crystals. These are
spatial combinations in which atoms are located at equal intervals from each other.
These intervals are equivalent in size to the size of the atoms themselves (10 -14 - 10
-12
m). They are virtually identical in every spatial direction (e.g., diamonds), or identical
in every spatial plane (e.g., graphite). Crystals are composed of carbon at-oms (C)
but are not the basis of either living organisms or organic molecules (Fig. 16, Fig.
17).
