The stuff you write shows a lot of confusion and misinformation.

It seems that in the time that cells on earth became DNA dependent they lost some of the RNA only chemicals which would otherwise be necessary in an RNA only world.

What RNA only chemicals? Why think there were ever any other chemicals involved in this hypothetical RNA-only world?

In particular, the RNA comes in two formats, Once which they call the "Negative" strands contains instructions and is more stable but it doesn't actually cause cytoplasm to make proteins.

Again, cytoplasm doesn't make proteins.

The "Positive" strand variety can immediately code for proteins when injected into a cell, but are more fragile.

RNA doesn't code, it is coded. It contains encoded information. RNA is just copied from portions of DNA. The difference between one strand of RNA and another is just a matter of what section of DNA has been transcribed.
