Is Life Different From Something Like a Vortex?
The living cell, in terms of the molecular species that make it up, is far more heterogeneous than a vortex. And as a result of all the ways of those lecules can interact among themselves, they produce self organizing dynamics very different from a candle flame or a vortex. But then is this whole autonomy and autopesis, the beginning of how self emerges, in the case of auto poesis the kind of autonomy that belongs to the living cell? I see that as where we really can start talking about individuality in a way that marks a difference between the living the non living.
