It is the self-organizing and self-assembling properties of inanimate molecules that make the origin problem much less difficult. The mystery probably does not have a complete solution, but amazing partial solutions have been discovered in my lifetime. Most promising are:
(1) the rich abiogenic syntheses of amino acids, nucleobases, and many other biomolecules, and
(2) the spontaneous folding and assembly of linear copolymers of amino acids and nucleotides to form enzymes and higher order molecular structures.

The origin of the genetic code and genetic language is still the greatest mystery, but whatever the answer, it is a fact that for over 4 billion years of evolution linear copolymer folding has remained the essential symbol grounding process that enables 1-dimensional genetic symbolic descriptions to construct and control the 3-dimensional molecular machinery of all life. These folded macromolecules also have remained as the initial detectors of sensory information at all levels of evolution. Any biosemiotic studies should understand these universal molecular symbol-matter and matter-symbol transitions.
