Lakinekaki - saw your comment on your recent edit on chaos theory. It is better practice to leave messages on users' talk pages rather than embedding them in edit comments, where they are easily missed. I have read the bios theory article and the Captual Institute web page, and I really can't see what makes "biotic motion" any different from chaotic behaviour. What, in mathematical terms, characterises the transition from chaos to "bios" - how exactly can you tell that a system is behaving "biotically" and not just chaotically (in the mathematical sense of the word) ?
