"The First Gene: The Birth of Programming, Messaging and Formal Control" is a peer-reviewed anthology of papers that focuses, for the first time, entirely on the following difficult scientific questions: *How did physics and chemistry write the first genetic instructions? *How could a prebiotic (pre-life, inanimate) environment consisting of nothing but chance and necessity have programmed logic gates, decision nodes, configurable-switch settings, and prescriptive information using a symbolic system of codons (three nucleotides per unit/block of code)? The codon table is formal, not physical....

This book addresses the most fundamental questions remaining for life origin research: **How did molecular evolution generate metabolic recipe and instructions using a representational symbol system? **How did prebiotic nature set all of the many configurable switch-settings to integrate so many interdependent circuits? **How did inanimate nature sequence nucleotides to spell instructions to the ribosomes on how to sequence amino acids into correctly folding protein molecular machines? **How did nature then code these symbol-system instructions into Hamming block codes, to reduce noise...
