In the living state, sense-awareness serves a single perpetual planetary end. No matter the scale, the living principle is the continuous internalization of the outward environment to protect individualized states of cellular homeostasis. And herein lies the crux of the differences between the fields of chemistry and physics as opposed to biology. Chemistry and physics utilize “equals” signs across transfer reactions, with the expectation of predictable results. In biology, there is no such equivalence. Life's ambiguous circumstances, as superimpositions of possibilities, extend across sub-systems-systems-super-systems to become biological deployment. That transfer process, which necessarily passes from uncertainty to uncertainty, interdicts any exact end-identities. In biology, the same set of stimuli never produces results that are actually identical. Yet, they do match sufficiently to carry life forward, and they do so through a shared universal relationship to the Singularity, through which all objects are always connected to all other universal objects.
