My theory is in the title. Could the Coordinate be the source of organic life itself? When Ymir Fritz interacted with the "source", what if she assimilated it? Instead of receiving the Power of Titans from the source, she simply became the source, and that's how she gained her Titans Power.

I don't really have any strong evidence to support this, it's mainly an assumption. However, there is still one or two things that might support this theory:

- In the anime (season 1), when Eren transforms into a Titan to protect Mikasa and Armin from the canon, a flower (=organic form of life) appeared out of nowhere (I'm 99% sure it wasn't here before Eren transformed). So, if the Coordinate is the source of all living matter itself, it would explain why this flower appeared of nowhere.

- Also, the fact that every subject of Ymir is linked to the Coordinate through paths supports my theory: the Titans are made by the paths (their bones and their flesh: organic matter). Maybe the Titans bodies are created/can regenerate because they are linked to the "source of all living matter". This theory might be true, might be false, and it's possible that we'll never get the answer.

(Also, it has nothing to do with my theory, but is there any explanation about what happens to the clothes of someone being turned into a pure Titan? Because clearly the clothes are not here anymore in the pure Titan's body... But for some reason, some people (Eren and Armin) still have their clothes when they turn back to human form after eating a shifter. I'd think that the clothes are destroyed when a subject of Ymir is turned into a pure Titan (simply by using logic), and we clearly can see that when Ymir and Zeke turned back to human form they are naked. I think it's a little plot hole that simplify a few details (imagine Keith finding a naked 10 y-o boy in the forest, a few minutes after being taken there by his father, who's gone... Well... A bit creepy. Or Grisha asking Eren to take his clothes off, so he can have something to put on himself when he turns back to human form...)
