Boltzmann is working with the scofflaw rate. In physics it is the tunneling rate. In evolution the scofflaw rate is the unwanted transfer rate across some container surface, its leakage. The subsequent collisions partition along the available axis from nitrogen interacting with phosphorous, using what ever energy is flowing. Imbalance causes excess bubble surface and failure. It is all chemistry, but increasingly experimental in that Boltzmann need only determine one of a small set of options at each step. Boltzmann never intended to evolve us and on 99.9998% of other planets he never bothered.
