energy
* transfer which is necessary for an effective information coupling

* Thus, for the leaf of a tree, photosynthesis uses radiation from the
* sun to form starch and other complicated chemicals necessary for life,
* out of the simpler atoms of water and the carbon dioxide of the air.

* An enormous local decrease in entropy may be associated with quite a
* moderate energy transfer.

Sunshine on a photosynthesising leaf. The Sun as direct life-giver.
Causing matter to become more complex: simple atoms transformed to
more complex molecules. On purpose, to sustain life.

Ground zero, a soup-of-life mixture zapped with energy:

Scientists have absolutely no problem creating amino acids - the building
blocks of all life - from constituent chemicals. It takes a Darwinian
amount of time to get higher-evolved life forms, but it eventually happens.

This property of matter to spontaneously become more complex is called
negentropy (negative entropy), and it means 'matter formatted by information'.

* We human beings mean more than the few-pence-worth of our chemical
* constituents, because information *informs* those component chemicals
* by means of a genetic blueprint.
*
* Life itself is a negentropy pump. The universe means more than a
* collapsed energetic equation of 'x-heat = x-cold = nothing', because
* information structures the balance. The result is the sun, moon and
* stars...

We have a lot of different kinds of cells in our bodies; hair, bone, eye,
brain, toenail, teeth, lung, skin... And they all started from ONE CELL.
And they all
