So, what are you yelling at me about, spunketts??? I thought I made it very clear that I think life has a physical basis, or it couldn't exist in this world.
The problem is, however, that the information at the level of physics and chemistry cannot account for life. That's the Level (iii) "hit the wall" problem in a nutshell, right there.
Betty- just to follow up on that- Information is contained in a container that equires higher info to sustain itself- the actual info might draw info fro mthe contianer to ‘sustain’ itself, however, the central issue is that the info can remain in a sustaining mode without performing it’s designed functions, and in this sense, it exists independent of higher info in regards to it’s specific functions- The function of hte informaiton isn’t to sustain itself, but to respond to change via outside information input.
