  We describe the photochemical dissipative structuring of fatty acids from CO
and CO2 saturated water under the solar UVC and UVA photon potential prevalent
at Earth's surface during the Archean. Their association into vesicles and
their subsequent association with other fundamental molecules of life such as
RNA, DNA and carotenoids to form the first protocells is also suggested to
occur through photochemical dissipative structuring. In particular, it is
postulated that the first vesicles were formed from conjugated linolenic
(C18:3n-3) and parinaric (C18:4n-3) acids which would form vesicles stable at
the high temperatures (~85 {\deg}C) and the somewhat acidic pH values (6.0-6.5)
of the Archean ocean surface, resistant to divalent cation salt flocculation,
permeable to ions and small charged molecules, but impermeable to short DNA and
RNA, and, most importantly, highly dissipative in the prevailing UVC+UVA
regions.
