Non-biological ‘Paralife’ and Its Ongoing Transition Toward a New Form of Mechanical Life

2022-11-18

Abstract excerpt

Here I describe an overlooked form of non-biological paralife (i.e., near-life) that has been evolving on Earth for millions of years, and is currently in the final stages of transitioning into a new form of life. Any consideration of non-biological life or paralife is complicated by the fact that there is no consensus among biologists for the definition of life. This ambiguity has caused disagreement about whethe...
