Is There a Line Between Living Systems and Non-Living Systems?
Do you think there's an actual line to eventually be drawn between life and non-life? Or is it all kind of continuum? I don't think it's a continuum but there's nothing magical that is happening. Living systems are a certain type of machine. What about non-living systems? Is it also a machine? There are non-living machines but the question is at which point is a system able to perform arbitrary state transitions to make representations. And living things can do this and of course we can also build non-living things that can do this. But physics doesn't have much room for opening up something that would not violate the conservation of information as we know it.
