N2 - Attempts to define life should focus on the transition from molecules to cells and the "closure" aspects of this event. Rather than classifying existing objects into living and non-living entities I believe the challenge is to understand how the transition from non-life to life can take place, that is, the how the closure in Jagers op Akkerhuis's hierarchical classification of operators, comes about. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
