Most attempts to define life have concentrated on individual theories, mentioning others
hardly at all, but here we compare all of the major current theories. We begin by asking how …

Computational autopoiesis—the realization of autopoietic entities in computational media—
holds an important and distinctive role within the field of artificial life. Its earliest formulation …
