And I would respond that I am defining life with precision over the entire Universe, not just here on Earth. We have no idea as to whether all planets with life have to be DNA/RNA based lifeforms. So if I take this list of characteristics of life: (a) is a closed geometrical shaped object (b) takes in energy from outside of its body (c) reproduces itself (d) has motion (e) has either DNA/RNA That list would surely eliminate the atoms fissioning as atoms fit a,b,c,d above except fails to fit (e). But (e) is confined to Earth. So that one can see that atoms are a close contender for "living" yet all of us consider atoms as inanimate lifeless objects when not part of a living body. So that above list from a to e, is about the best that biology can do for defining life versus nonlife. The above is not precise enough and makes one consider a long list of characteristics that seem to fit for atoms fissioning as well as biological creatures. So this is where my definition is superior, for it is universal and matters not whether a planet is based on DNA/RNA or some other genetic bases. Life: a living object must have a brain locus. Nonlife: a nonliving object has no brain locus. That is my precision definition and is universal. It comes from Bell Inequality that quantum mechanics is on the large scale and ushers in superdeterminism. And to have superdeterminism every living object must be directly controlled by the Atom Totality Nucleus, and that is done via a brain-locus that forms every mind of every living object, regardless of whether it is DNA based or based on some other genetics. Now I do not know what a brain-locus will be discovered as. Will it be a small molecule? Will its geometry be a hexagonal shaped molecule? Does lithium play a essential part of a brain-locus? Here I would need experts in making radios. Making a radio out of a living body. I would assume the brain locus is located in the brain. If it were located in the eye, there are many living creatures with their eyes removed that did not have a loss of thinking or lose their mind. But when their head is cut off, no longer does a mind exist. I do not know what the smallest radio, made out of living tissue would look like? Can it be a simple molecule? But perhaps it needs to be much more than a simple molecule, considering how much sleep is required by humans who have to sleep 1/3 of their life to tune or focus the brain-locus each and every day. Now the rest of the brain which is large in comparison to the brain- locus is merely the execution of what the brain locus has ordered up. Much like a boss of a factory surrounded by thousands of workers all commanded by the boss to perform tasks. So the brain locus receives messages by photons shot by the Nucleus of the Atom Totality, and the execution of those orders are performed by the rest of the brain matter. So now we can see that Nonliving objects would under superdeterminism simply follow the laws of physics, but that Living objects need to be more controlled by the Atom Totality and would have a brain-locus and thus a mind. Now I expect any day that someone in the medical profession or the biology sciences to remove a tiny portion of a brain from some animal to find the animal no longer can think properly. Now in the heyday of lobotomies, especially here in the USA, the tools of a long rod that scrambled around some brain matter would not have removed the brain- locus but would have scrambled it around so badly that it would be akin to jarring the crystal from a radio set out of place. And it would take a patient who was lobotomized a long time to recover. Now I believe the historical record of lobotomies showed a good number of patients who seemed to have "lost their minds completely." And in those cases, I would suspect that the brain locus had been moved or damaged. I do not know if anyone kept detailed records of lobotomies. Now I hope, sincerely, that the Brain Locus theory is not proven true before the Atom Totality theory is proven true. But this never occurred to me before, that I maybe in a funny situation that science of biology discovers the Brain Locus of animals and proves it true, whilst still the astronomy and physics communities not taking the Atom Totality serious enough. And I never thought of it that way, that if biologists prove the Brain Locus theory true, that it would be the biologists who prove the astronomy and physics theory of how the Universe was made. Just think of that for a moment, where the biologists do the job of the astronomers and physicists, for which they were derelict of their job. So, just think of that for a moment, that the proof of the Universe as one big atom, is proven by the fact that animals have radios for a mind. The ironies of science just seem to go on to 10^500. Now, one more fascinating idea. What if the Brain Locus is the DNA molecule? Then the molecule is a radio and is contained in all the body's cells. Is a double helix acting like a radio?
