Reply #10: I think that life

[agent46]

"I think that life is a general emergent property of matter...under at least certain circumstances, and maybe under far more circumstances than we can presently model. I wonder whether life might be an inevitable consequence of information storage and propagation-- that certain types of information propagation lead to self-organized matter and the mechanisms we recognize as characteristics of life."

I pulled this quote from (somewhere). I don't remember who wrote it, but it seemed pertinent.
