Chemistry is the universe’s first experiment in organized becoming. In the ED ontology, stable motifs and persistent structures arise naturally from gradients and participation patterns, but they do not yet do anything. They endure, but they do not organize. Chemistry begins when these motifs stop behaving as isolated participants and start shaping the conditions of their own persistence. Catalysis, reaction pathways, boundary formation, and energy‑coupled cycles all emerge as higher‑order expressions of the same architectural principles that governed the physics arc.

This paper develops the ED → chemistry threshold: how stable motifs become selective, how selectivity becomes catalytic reinforcement, how reinforcement becomes network formation, and how networks become the first self‑sustaining cycles. Chemistry is shown not as a separate layer of nature but as the first ED regime capable of stabilizing internal gradients, resisting diffusion, and sustaining organization through activity.

This is the universe’s first step toward systems that persist through action. Chemistry is not yet life, but it is the precondition for life — the first domain where becoming becomes self‑reinforcing, and the architecture of autopoiesis becomes possible.
