Can I get a ELI5 version of this theory?

  dunno about LI5 but wikipedia's summary: > According to the chemoton model, life should basically, but of necessity, have an autocatalytic subsystem consisting of metabolism and a replication process, and a membrane enclosing these functions. also >A single chemical reaction is said to be autocatalytic if one of the reaction products is also a catalyst for the same or a coupled reaction
