"absolute or actual" or "potential" life criteria (Origins of Life and Evolution of the Biosphere 34:323-46, 2004)
 living system = any autonomous system with open-ended evolution capacities
 must include:
 1) membrane; semi-permeable active boundary
 2) energy transduction/ conversion apparatus; chemical/chemiosmotic energy
 3) catalysts, records; two types of interdependent macromolecular systems

Ruiz-Mirazo (Biol Philo 23: 67-85, 2007)
 autonomy -- function
 open-ended evolution --- information
 naturalization of Shannon & Weaver conception of information
