Animate and Inanimate Sequence:
"Virologists have been too busy, for instance, with their DNA-RNA genetic code isolatings, to find time or to see the synergetic significance to society of the fact that they have found that no threshold does in fact exist between animate and inanimate.
“The possibility of its existence vanished because the supposedly unique physical qualities of both inanimate and animate have persisted right across yesterday’s supposed threshold in both directions to permeate one another’s, previously-conceived-to-be, exclusive domains. Subsequently, what was animate has become foggier and foggier, and what is inanimate clearer and clearer. The inanimate alone is not only omnipresent, but is alone experimentally demonstrable. Belated news of this threshold elimination must be interpreted to mean that whatever life may be, it has not been isolated and thereby identified as residual in the biological cell, as had been supposed by the false assumption that there was a separate physical phenomenon called animate within which life existed.”
