AJ2884 on Nostr: Personally, I feel like having many copies and large assembly numbers are necessary ...
Personally, I feel like having many copies and large assembly numbers are necessary but not sufficient conditions for life. To me, implying that an iPhone is alive seems to be missing the point, but I could very much see coming up with a new word that represents life and its stuff. That said, if I remember correctly, she also talks about the need for evolution which could enable distinguishing between us and our stuff, but that would add some messiness that you understandably don't want, and I still don't love it as a definition since it still feels more like a test than a definition. Too much of a "shut up and calculate" vibe for me 🙂
