Spontaneous Generation As Life-Origin Frame / 自然发生论作为生命起源框架

Spontaneous generation as life-origin frame is the source’s label for the old belief that some living things could arise without parents from mud, decay, or arranged materials. In 141. 制造弗兰肯斯坦：科幻之母和她的神奇时代, examples range from maggots and Nile mud stories to “homunculus” legends and [[AndrewCrosse|Andrew Crosse]]’s later electric-life claim.

The episode uses the frame historically. It does not endorse spontaneous generation; instead, it shows why electricity, chemistry, and biology could be joined in public imagination before microbial contamination and experimental controls were widely legible.
