The Physics of Assembly and the Diversity of Molecules
1:28:48 - 1:34:51 (06:02)
When there is a sufficient density in the assembly space, there is a transition to assembly dominated physics which leads to the combinatorial diversity of molecules from combining things on the periodic table. This is when the selection and the fact that some things can exist and others can't exist actually starts to matter.

Summary
The ability to make bonds between different atoms leads to the creation of various molecules with different histories and effects on the future. Chemical bonds can have a substantial causal impact on the outcome of chemical reactions.

The transition to assembly dominated physics in the common memory leads to a physical feature in the system which requires enough time for the structure to exist, limiting our ability to predict the length of memory that can be formed later in the universe.
