claim

Updated Software/Hardware Definition: a continuous variant — a living system is software reprogrammable to the extent stimuli can alter its behavior, as opposed to needing physical rewiring; the binary distinction is not useful.
supports
The paper's proposed dissolution of binary software/hardware distinction into a continuum
