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?
