Kasei-Theory II.Life: Life Without Purpose

This paper fixes life within the second system of Kasei-Theory. Life is not introduced as purpose, function, organism, biological process, evolution, adaptation, reproduction, self-preservation, development, agency, vitality, consciousness, or ontology. Reading does not establish life. Time does not establish life. Observation does not establish life. State does not establish life. Field does not establish life. Interaction does not establish life. Information does not establish life. Phase does not establish life. Configuration does not establish life. Life is fixed only as the local readability condition under which distributed maintainability is readable as life without purpose. This readability does not establish purpose, function, organism, biological process, evolution, adaptation, reproduction, self-preservation, development, agency, vitality, consciousness, or ontology. The paper prevents life from being reduced to biological process, organism, metabolism, genetic information, evolution, adaptation, reproduction, survival, self-preservation, functional organization, agency, or consciousness. Life does not function, does not adapt, does not reproduce, does not preserve itself, does not become organism, and does not ground consciousness. No purpose is presupposed. No function is introduced. No organism is established. No biological process is restored. No adaptation is introduced. No consciousness is secured.
