I agree that our discussions seems necessary, but my purpose is
*primarily* not to bring us closer to DQ, the opposite in fact. I think,
if
we define the static levels good enough, everything else will be DQ.
Then we can relax and enjoy it much more, since we then would
know it when we see it and not think it is DQ when it isn't.

I like that, metabolism is to make inorganic patterns into organic. But
I would
still not identify organic patterns with life, metabolism and
reproduction can
be faked without us calling it life.
It's nice with some new input, not that I was bored in any way but it
can
make us shift our perspectives a bit.
