Issues addressed in H.H. Pattee's origin of life laboratory in the 1960s and their connection to the physics-evolution-language problematic are indicated. The problem of quantum measurement played a central role. The problem is herein examined in the light of the fluctuon model; in particular, as the model applies to gravity. The main conclusion is that measurement and motion are a unitary process. All accelerations are accompanied by a cycle involving the annihilation and creation of superpositions. Gravitational collapse is also a cyclic process in the fluctuon model. By a suitable transformation, it can be seen that interactions underlying superpositional collapse are the same as those operative in gravitational collapse. Implications for the origin of cellular life and the development of symbolic systems are considered.
文中指出了20世纪60年代H.H.帕蒂生命起源实验室所探讨的问题及其与物理学-进化-语言难题的联系。量子测量问题起到了核心作用。本文根据涨落子模型对该问题进行了研究；特别是该模型应用于引力的情况。主要结论是测量和运动是一个统一的过程。所有加速度都伴随着一个涉及叠加态湮灭和产生的循环。在涨落子模型中，引力坍缩也是一个循环过程。通过适当的变换可以看出，叠加态坍缩背后的相互作用与引力坍缩中起作用的相互作用相同。文中还考虑了对细胞生命起源和符号系统发展的影响。
