The problem of the origin of life revolves around the emergence of teleonomic systems capable ofreplication and evolution. This article proposes a purely kinetic framework for the pre-biological transitionfrom incipient molecular replication to evolutionary systems. We argue that evolutionary principles emergefrom molecular population dynamics, where teleonomy is revealed as a retrospective illusion of kineticefficacy. This framework inverts conventional presuppositions, demonstrating that information andcompartmentalization are emergent consequences, not starting points
