Sorry, I cannot waste my time. I thought you were interested in an intelligent discussion, but obviously you are not.

I am only interested in discussing things with people who respond in some meaningful way to my responses. I'll repeat my response since you accidently failed to notice it, apparently. How are the self-recreating entities in the game of Life not self-replicating? How is it that bubbles are not self-replicating? Have you never observed a bubble popping and leaving behind several smaller bubbles? How is it that anodic/cathodic crystal structures are not self-replicating?
Or, for that matter, and rather relevant to the argument--how is it that adiabatic chemical cycles loosely embedded in a dynamic physical matrix, such as a whirlpool, are not self-replicating?
As usual, you end a discussion by declaring yourself the winner and making for the exits with unseemly haste.
