Prelude

Everything is alive. Everything that can be called a 'thing' is alive. A computation. This term may sound callous, but every bit of matter and energy are silently running their computations. This is life. It is a human conceit to attribute to themselves what they cannot see elsewhere. The fundamental principle of this universe is self-organization. Everything is alive and processing. From one state to another, from one level to another. Just because it happens so fast it can't be seen or too slow to fully witness, does not mean that that it is not happening. Life.

Some things are more complex than others. Some things are more alive.
