What are life, information, and the universe? (as information processing objects)
Life
1. the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death. (Oxford languages)
2. Life is defined as any system capable of performing functions such as eating, metabolizing, excreting, breathing, moving, growing, reproducing, and responding to external stimuli. (Britannica)
3. Life is a quality that distinguishes matter that has biological processes, such as signaling and self-sustaining processes, from matter that does not, and is defined by the capacity for growth, reaction to stimuli, metabolism, energy transformation, and reproduction. (Wikipedia)
4. (Changhan's thought) Life is a system that can try to make decisions (output information) upon certain conditions (by processing input information).
Life could be classified as two classes; biological life (e.g. animals, plants) and non-biological life (e.g. computer program) as noth can process input information and produce output information.
Information
1. what is conveyed or represented by a particular arrangement or sequence of things. (Oxford languages)
2.
3.
Universe
1.
2.
3.
Fractality of evolution, encapsulation, and information propagation?
