        You should probably read the articles before you comment on what’s in them. It may also help to know what replication means.

        “Any system capable of replication and mutation is alive” to Schulze-Makuch et al. 2002:

        (3) able to replicate structurally distinct copies of themselves from an instructional code perpetuated indefinitely through time despite the demise of the individual carrier through which it is transmitted.
