I’ll look forward to his reply. Oh, and in case it wasn’t clear, my comment on his name was entirely sincere. Very cool name.

Hi HHTVL!

While I'm waiting to hear from AG, here's an abstract regarding Tibor Ganti's Chemoton theory [1971] , of which he was the pioneer.

As far as I can tell, Ganti's approach strongly differs from Bauer's [c. 1920s–1930s]. Bauer's work was principally driven by physics (thermodynamics), where Ganti's main interest is chemistry.

Ganti, Like Erwin Bauer, was a Hungarian biological theorist and like him, worked behind the Iron Curtain. The theory's claim is that chemistry can evolve living systems. It seems it would have to violate Kahre's Law [c. ~ 1960s] to do this.

Jan Kahre's field was mathematically-based information theory, not chemistry.

A good treatment of Chemoton Theory is given in this overview of Ganti's The Principles of Life, which was first translated from the Hungarian into English in 2003.

Hope this helps!
