We argue here that the Origin of Life (OOL) problem is not just a chemistry but also, and primarily, cognitive science problem. When interpreted through lens Conway-Kochen theorem Free Energy Principle, contemporary physics characterizes all complex dynamical systems persist time as Bayesian agents. If persistent are to some – perhaps only minimal extent cognitive, alive, or living subset systems? no bright line can be drawn, we re-assess, from this perspective, Fermi paradox Drake equation. conclude improving our abilities recognize communicate with diverse intelligences in embodiments, whether based on familiar biochemistry not, will either resolve obviate OOL
