Abstract
The main thesis developed in this article is that the key feature of biological life is the a biological process can control and regulate other processes, and it maintains that ability over time. This control can happen hierarchically and/or reciprocally, and it takes place in three-dimensional space. This implies that the information that a biological process has to utilize is only about the control, but not about the content of those processes. Those other processes can be vastly more complex that the controlling process itself, and in fact necessarily so. In particular, each biological process draws upon the complexity of its environment.
摘要
本文提出的主要论点是，生物生命的关键特征在于生物过程能够控制和调节其他过程，并随着时间的推移保持这种能力。这种控制可以分层和/或相互地发生，并且发生在三维空间中。这意味着生物过程必须利用的信息仅与控制有关，而与那些过程的内容无关。那些其他过程可能比控制过程本身复杂得多，事实上也必然如此。特别是，每个生物过程都利用其环境的复杂性。
