English essentials of the Digital Life series. This volume collects three papers: Paper 0 (Starting from Two Facts: introduction), Paper 1 (Why Today's AI Is Not Life: the full definition, three necessary conditions, life vs environment, emergence) and Paper 32 (The Life Function: representable dimensions, structure, compression and decompression, time, language, comparison with large models). The claims are definitional and conjectural, not empirical proof that life has been created; R (the non-functionizable part) is only declared, never developed. The full Chinese series (23 papers + two appendices) is published as "Digital Life: A Measurable Definition of Life (Series Compendium)", v54, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.23639310.
