The sub-text in my view is autonomy and semiosis, the unicellular organism is acting as a whole, communicating [Shannon] with its environment and internally, e.g. to decide and to move.

It seems to me likewise; an organism is alive as long as it's communicating. When it is no longer doing that, then it's dead. Pretty stupid simple, I'd say. But nonetheless true.

Thank you so very much for writing, dearest sister in Christ!

E=MC2 is simple though it sits atop a mountain of challenging math and physics!

Thank you so much for your encouragements, dearest sister in Christ!
