I said “incomplete.”

What is the consequence of "incomplete"? Why is the omission of that definition important to the consideration of the theory? If someone else re-publishes the same theory and includes that definition, will it make it more likely that the theory is correct - that life does speciate by a process of evolution?

If Darwin had first tackled the definition of what life "is" relative to non-life and death in nature, either his misconception would be later revealed as it was with Newton and space/time - or he would have realized that final cause (function or purpose) is integral to life in nature.

Whereas accidents (e.g. mutations) happen, final cause is the controlling factor in living things, e.g. the mathematical models of Shannon and Rosen.

Leaving Bacon (anti-final cause) behind, the Newtonian paradigm, essentially that the whole is equal to the sum of the parts, would not have been falsely applied in biological investigations.

Life is NOT like non-life/death in nature.

In living systems, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

What should I do before I express my theory and promote it as the answer to everything?
