Abstract
The self-referential genetic encoding starts with glycine and serine, in the realm of one-carbon units of metabolism. It is proposed that the prototRNA dimer-directed mechanism of protein synthesis and encoding promotes a sink dynamics that corresponds to the driving 'force' for the fixation of the supporting metabolic pathways. A succession of processes is delineated, ending up in reproduction, which accomplished the function of reinforcing the protein synthesis metabolic sink mechanism.
