On the Possible Physical Origin of Metabolism as a Necessary Interaction with the Environment of Biological Structures by Energy Uptake

It is shown in this brief paper that our 'Basic Hypothesis' of the origin of life, relying on Pattee's and Primas' works, and expounded in details elsewhere ([1-6]) whose central concept is a possible spontaneous symmetry breaking/restoring of time inversion, due to a spontaneous endophysical '(self-)measurement' process, and the reverse time being internalized (to save retrocausality), the latter is driving, evolving towards attaining time inversion symmetry (of internal reverse and external forward time), might perhaps provide a key to certain well-known experimental facts. We in this short paper aim to suggest a resolution of the physical basis of metabolism, interpreted as an indispensable constant uptake, during the (elementarily the cellular) life cycle, of external energy.
