Dear Jose,
With great interest I read your essay, which of course is worthy of high rating.
You are one of the few who directly answers the question put by the contest.
I share your aspiration to seek the truth
«All physical structures including living organisms are manifestations inside the Cosmos, and cannot exist outside.»
«Life is an emergent property acquired by mid-level structures formed by atoms.»
«The temperature difference between the two makes the heat engine work.»
«In addition to these, the emergent properties acquired by the intermediate structures create both bottom-up and top-down causal factors at each level.»
I wish you success in the contest.
Kind regards,
Vladimir
