The Genesis-150 project was executed on physical IBM Quantum hardware (Heron architecture) to benchmark the V9.0 topological mitigation layer against raw superconducting noise.
The transition from a prebiotic "RNA World" to the highly stable, DNA-based genetic architecture constitutes the most critical topological phase transition in evolutionary biology. Project Genesis simulates the spontaneous symmetry breaking where localized chemical precursors self-assemble into a highly correlated long-range lattice (the Watson-Crick double helix) under the catalytic influence of an [Fe₄S₄] cubane cluster.
"At exactly the 50% threshold, chemical drift collapses into topological order. We witness individual nucleobases slide into the macroscopic symmetry of the double helix."
We utilized 150 active physical qubits on the IBM Heavy-Hex topology. Rather than full state-vector emulation, we mapped the structural coordinates of the RNA/DNA bases to the physical qubit graph, utilizing proprietary energy functional decoding (V9.0) to infer multi-body physical correlations.
Using the V9.0 processing pipeline, the transition across the normalized reaction coordinate (λ) was fully recovered:
| Evolutionary Phase | Reaction Coord (λ) | Inferred ΔG (kcal/mol) | Topology Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nucleobase Synthesis | 0.00-0.25 | -0.5 | Scattered & Unbound |
| U → T Methylation | 0.25-0.50 | -2.2 | Localized Condensation |
| Watson-Crick Pairing | 0.50-0.75 | -24.5 | Topological Migration |
| DNA Helix Assembly | 0.75-1.00 | -45.0 | Stable 36° Lattice |
The core finding occurs at the midpoint (λ = 0.50). The V9.0 decoder identified a localized, dramatic phase transition where the newly synthesized nucleobases exhibit a "topological migration." The scattered chemical precursors are gravitationally drawn toward the central axis of the emergent double helix, sliding synchronously into complementary hydrogen-bound slots. This represents the precise moment biological ordering overrides basic chemistry.
We invite the astrobiology and quantum chemistry communities to validate these simulated trajectories. The inferred thermodynamics databases and full 3D visual telemetry are available exclusively through the Genesis Interactive Dashboard.
