Neither the jungle nor clouds nor organisms are ordered in a traditional sense, yet they are not completely disordered either. Somehow we get the feeling that nature balances somewhere between chaos and order. In all complex systems there is an element of noise. That it is wild means that we can never fully control it. We are never safe from the spontanious emergence of anomalies in the system because they are an innate part of the system.
Life is intrinsically wild and slippery.
It refuses to be controlled. Therefore Life is by definition impossible to rigidly define. We are unable to completely capture organisms with our concepts. We can never be sure that Life will be the same tomorrow as it is today. Life has the extraordinary ability of making its own definition obsolete.
