Here goes:
IF life = chemistry processes most stable in that environment, then:
1. We need to find the temperature zone (sun/uv cycle)
We have a clue that probably
half the time it is cooling down without UV - night,
and the other half it is warming up with UV - day.
2. We need to find the wet/dry cycle that best fits:
Either wet- cooling down / dry - warming up
OR
wet-warming up / dry - cooling down.
3. We need to find the chemicals involved.
On the surface this looks daunting. There are so many options
to consider. But what if we make
it easier. I suggest some 'first trys' that may get things
started. I suggest some type of heat cycle on nucleotides in which
the temperature gets hot enough to denature any paired bases
and it gets cold enough to anneal any single strands.
Now lets' repeat the 3 steps from the top paragraph with this in mind:
1. Find the temperature zone with UV, during the hot end
that exactly fits denaturing and annealing of nucleotides.
This is at the high end of liquid water range - hot, so
there should be a lot of chemical activity.
2. Find the wet/dry cycle. Here we have to try two options:
a. wet-cooling down + dry-heating up
b. wet -heating up + dry - cooling down.
See which works best.
3. Find the chemicals involved:
Start with a reducing environment, liquid water, etc.
Mostly you have a Miller-Urey type experiment with these
changes: Start with nucleotides. And the energy source is
Sun/UV on for half the time ( for either the wet or the dry period),
in the place of periodic lightning charges.
I suggest this experiment may show clues to how
life processes originated as a response to the environmental
energy forces.
