Life as a "CODE" Thesis (Lact), Starting from Old Philosophical Questions: Life Forms (LFs) as Primarily "Software" and Only Secondarily "Hardware", with All Viruses (Including Sars-Cov-2) Being "Living" Software with "Non-Living" Hardware

Authors: Andrei Lucian Dragoi

This paper proposes a redefinition of life as a genetic & epigenetic code (starting from old philosophical questions) with all life forms (LFs) being redefined as primarily "software" (SW) and only secondarily "hardware" (HW), with all viruses (including SARS-CoV-2) being redefined as “living” software with “non-living” hardware/ “storage”; based on a proposed empirical symmetry-principle (ESP), this paper also speculatively predicts the total biomass (of all known and unknown LFs) that already exists or may be allowed in our observable universe (ou). This paper continues (from alternative angles of view) the work of other past articles/preprints of the same author in physics, biology (including medicine) and philosophy.
