  "abstract": "Emergence, optimization and stability of a motor-like motion in a fluctuating environment are analyzed. The emergence of motion is shown to be a general phenomenon. A motor converges to the state with the minimum of effective temperature and with the corresponding minimum in the rate of conformation changes similarly as some stochastic processes converge to the states with minimum diffusion activity. This mechanism is important to bacterial foraging (chemotaxis). This work, therefore, raises an analogy between chemotaxis and the emergence of living-like systems. The implications include the deviation of stable natural or artificial machines from the minimum entropy production principle, with a novel self-assembly mechanism for the emergence of the first molecular motors and for mass fabrication of the future nanodevices.",
