life as a self-perpetuating replicator extracting energy from facilitating energy gradient descent

@NathanielVirgo I agree, personally I think anything that self-replicates is alive. I think defining the substrate of replication is what clarifies things. As organic beings, we self-replicate on a subset of carbon molecules, currently with the energy driving that being the sun. 1/n
