• The living organism seems to be a macroscopic system which in part of its behaviour approaches that purely mechanical (as contrasted with thermodynamical) conduct to which all systems tend as the temperature approaches absolute zero.claim0.779
  Schrödinger's analogy highlighting that life maintains order akin to a system at very low temperature.

• Nature manages to create structures that are members of C_living by way of structure-preserving transformations.claim0.749

• How Can Regenerating Organisms Maintain Identity And Memoryquestion0.737
• Can events within living organisms be accounted for by physics and chemistry?question0.736
  Foundational question of the book; Schrödinger's answer: yes, but requires quantum mechanics, not classical physics.
• Living processes are by nature morphogenetic; they are aimed at creating positive space and making form coherent.claim0.735
  Core definition of living process as intentionally form-creating, in contrast to fragmented modern processes.
• The living process must give rise to coherent entities at a middle range of scale.claim0.734
  Asserts middle-range entity emergence as a necessary output of any living process
