  Yes, but how do living things come into existence? What makes a cell alive?

    Jiggling. It’s about wiggling and jiggling.

      “And so people come to sorts of agreements about, uh, how much of a wiggle is a wiggle; that is to say a thing. One wiggle, you can always reduce any one wiggle into sub-wiggles. Or see it as a subordinate wiggle in a bigger wiggle. But there’s no real fixed rule about it”

        Does a wave wiggle or jiggle?

  What is “sensing” or “growing” or “respiring” or “excreting” or “eating”?

    I would define those terms, but you would just ask me to define the terms I used to define them, wouldn’t you? Eventually, language is known by other people without being defined in terms of language.

      Not really, i left out the term reproduce because i think it has some reality. But others like sensing — does an atom changing the electron cloud due to an electric feild or nearby atom count as sensing because it senses the presence of nearby atoms or whatever?
