Abstract

BCT derives why all nitrogen-fixing life independently selected molybdenum, manganese, and tungsten as nitrogenase cofactors: all three are d-half-fill Hopf attractors in the BCT periodic table. The Hopf attractor selection mechanism is solid. Full catalyst geometry is in progress — this is documented honestly. Prediction #192. Zero free parameters.
