The Universal Hierarchy of Life - Prof. Chris Kempes [SFI]
Chris Kempes argues that scientific understanding requires compact theories and “dangerous predictions,” not merely detailed simulations, with a universal theory of life potentially emerging above chemistry from shared physical and evolutionary constraints.Error thresholds, evolutionary walls, and assembly theory offer measurable routes toward substrate-independent principles, but simulated life, intelligence, and abiotic-to-biotic cutoffs remain underdetermined rather than established.
