G. Bollée,S. de Miranda,E. Azoulay: Life is like consciousness. If you think you can explain what it is, you got it all wrong” (Shaw 2002). Niels Bohr interpreted life as a?fundamental property of matter analogous to certain quantum properties, to be taken as given, and thus allowing little if any logical scrutiny (Bohr 1933):

B. Guery,J. F. Pittet,P. Marchetti on the principles of hierarchical accretion. The challenge to any hierarchical theory about the origin of life is to organize the early achievements of life in a?sequence that is thermodynamically meaningful and provides temporal direction (overall increase in stability and efficiency). Some of the major assumptions of this model are as follows:

I start by presenting an interpretation listing the most general features of early life evolution and continue with a?couple of better known models of early life.

Consequently, bio-information .is much more than mere complexity or a?decrease in comparative uncertainty in an environmental context” (Abel 2002).

Introduction,we have no satisfactory information concerning the extremely peculiar conditions which prevailed on the surface of the earth at the time when the first organisms developed” (Haeckel 1866). Erwin Schr?dinger (1943) also expressed pessimism regarding the chances of understanding life. In the same vein

The Early History of Bioenergy,. The concept of energy is not easily implemented in computational models of life and is therefore often ignored in artificial life models. Some models even .regard as irrelevant the energetic problematic (dissipation, irreversibility, couplings, energy currencies), in the physical realization of a?
