One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish. 

 

Black fish, blue fish, old fish, new fish. 

 

This one has a little star. 

 

This one has a little car. 

 

Say! What a lot of fish there are. 

 

Yes. Some are red. And some are blue. 

 

Some are old. And some are new. 

 

Some are sad. And some are glad. 

 

And some are very, very bad. 

 

The fact that there are spontaneous inorganic processes that generate macroscopic order is seen by many as a missing link between living and non-living processes. Even the simplest life forms are remarkably complex in their microphysical structure and chemical dynamics, and all forms of life exhibit the uncanny ability to resist the relentless eroding influence of thermodynamics. So, demonstrating that structural and dynamic regularity can arise spontaneously in the absence of life provides some hope that the life/non-life threshold could be understood in terms of a special chemical self-organizing (morphodynamic) process.

"No, that is all foolishness. The little physical harms are nothing. There's the harm life can do to her when she's grown up: there's the danger of this house, the incredible silliness of the lives that will be all about her unless ..." She said softly: "Hullo, darling, are you waking up? It's morning".
