Can events within living organisms be accounted for by physics and chemistry?

• How can the events in space and time which take place within the spatial boundary of a living organism be accounted for by physics and chemistry?concept0.885
  Erwin Schrödinger's foundational question; Friston argues the answer is: through the existence of a boundary itself.
• "The obvious inability of present-day physics and chemistry to account for such events is no reason at all for doubting that they can be accounted for by those sciences."concept0.813
  Load-bearing epistemological statement; Schrödinger argues that current ignorance does not imply impossibility—motivates search for deeper theory.
• The structures where life occurs just cannot be made in any other way.quote0.794
  Categorical assertion about the necessity of the living process.
• Life occurs in space not as an attribute of living organisms but as an attribute of space itselfclaim0.785
  Radical ontological claim that life is a property of spatial configuration itself, not limited to biological organisms; the degree of life depends on the coherence of centers
• We feel degrees of life in different organisms, even though technically they all have equal biological life.claim0.782
  Summarizes the observation of graded life within the category of living things.
• The structures where life occurs just cannot be made in any other way — it is a categorical and mathematical must.claim0.779
• Individual mechanical explanations for each property are too specific to provide a general explanation for why living structure repeatedly appears across all domains.claim0.776
  Alexander's argument that case-by-case mechanical explanations fail to address the universal recurrence of living structure
• How can purely physical processes produce new structures that include not only new combinations of physical materials but also new information-based mechanisms for producing and controlling complex behaviours?question0.775
  Sloman's extension of Schrödinger's puzzle to the emergence of information-based control in development.
