Reference: Postulate Mechanics (PM)
The basis of a life organism is controlled motion.
- The substance with its properties becomes organized.
- A harmonious organization may be referred to as an entity.
- Space and time gives that entity an enduring form.
- Inertia gives that entity control over its motion.
- Gravity gives that entity equilibrium and stability.
- Thus we have the laws of nature and elements of life.
- This entity has sufficiency to grow into a life organisms.

Simple Motion to Life
The light may be seen lifeless in the conventional sense but its speed is in equilibrium with its inertia. This is the only reason that the speed of light is finite and constant.
We model an atom with electrons moving around the nucleus. This motion is a little bit more complex than the motion of light because it is a bit more dynamic. There is variation of inertia that brings about changes in motion. One may say that electrons have a little more “life” compared to light.
We model a simple organic molecule with carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms linked with each other. The electrons are spread over a number of nuclei performing a delicate dance. The degrees of freedom for these electrons has increased.
When it comes to a virus, we are looking at a very sophisticated arrangement of organic molecules that contain such a tremendous number of degrees of freedom in its motion that it is like having a little robot automated by a built-in computer.
From virus, it is just one ingenious step to a biological cell, which is a bona fide life organism.

The Life Organism
A life organism is a highly complex structure with inherent self-animation. It follows both physical and metaphysical laws of nature. It maintains harmony all around.
The life organism assimilates the substance and sensations of the universe within itself. It then expresses the nature of the universe through itself. In this way, the life organism becomes an intermediate step in the understanding of the universe.

Postulate Mechanics
Life is visualized through the sophistication of controlled motion. This requires a sophistication modulation of inertia. This modulation is generated by the sophisticated structure of the life organism.
There is no separate spirit controlling the life organism. The motion is inherent in substance and so is inertia. The life organism is simply a very sophisticated system.
