I realize not enough is yet known about dark matter to figure out what
dark matter life might be like. But has there been any speculation by
astronomers and/or cosmologists?



It's important to know the source of evolution and life in general first

First of all, life is self similar across scale. Regardless of how life
differs in form and specifics, the general properties we all know and
love with Darwinian evolution would apply to any life form at all.

But lets try playing this out.

Evolutionary forces find their source from a persistant phase transition
between system specific static and chaotic forms. This is just the abstract
version of what most would refer to in some contexts as a thermal gradient.

Persistantly residing at that narrow point where the system undergoes
a dramatic phase change in form. As in water to steam. This persistant state
produces an emergent dynamic attractor.

With evolution, the 'gradient' or edge of chaos state would be between the
static behavior of genetics, and the chaotic behavior of mutation.
Resulting in the emergent dynamic attractor of natural selection.

The emergent dynamic attractors are always system properties.
In that such properties don't reside in the parts, but only
with an intact functioning system. Such as a market force.

So the next step would be to define the static and chaotic
forms of dark matter. With conventional matter, say water, the
static and chaotic forms would simply be ice and steam.

But dark matter should be an emergent system property of
conventional matter. As I understand it, dark matter and
energy didn't exist in any significant quantify until the unviverse
became matter dominated. After galaxies dominated the
unviverse.

So I suppose the static form would be dark matter, and the
chaotic form dark energy. Both themselves emergent
system properties.

A conventional matter/energy phase transition would
be best seen in our biosphere. With the earth and the
sun providing the static and chaotic attractors.
Or providing the system where matter and energy
can persistantly interact in a critical way.

Here's where it should get weird.

Dark matter and energy seem to be associated with galaxies.
So any life that would spring from dark matter should
differ mostly in scale. As in replacing the earth as
the static attractor with a galaxy. And replacing the sun
as the chaotic realm with......with....ah....um....

This is where I jump off.

As I think the only logical conclusion would be some sort of God.
Due to the incredible increase of scale.

It is thought that dark energy and matter play a fundamental
role in the evolution of the universe. Hey, one person's force
is someone else's God I guess.
