directed exogenesis
new -- 1 may 2007

exogenesis is the hypothesis that the creation of life in one location may have stemmed from its being transported from an altogether different location where said life had already existed. it typically refers to life on earth being the result of a transfer from an extraterrestrial source.

but one might also think of a more mundane form of exogenesis in terms of johnny appleseed. okay, it’s a stretch! but bear with me for just a moment.

“the popular image of johnny appleseed had him spreading apple seeds randomly, everywhere he went. in fact, he planted nurseries rather than orchards, built fences around them to protect them from livestock, left the nurseries in the care of a neighbor who sold trees on shares, and returned every year or two to tend the nursery.” [1]

strictly speaking, johnny’s efforts speak more of directed exogenesis than the more general hypothesis. in general, there is the intentional transfer of life or seeds from one location to another. a subset of such an activity is where the johnny appleseed scenario is carried to the point where the transferring intelligence not only plants seeds, but nurses them (perhaps with assistance from others), and returns periodically to check on things and... of yes... prune where appropriate.
