Timshel Negentropy Redux²

{ Post #2 in Series « Post #3 in Series » }

In Post #2 of this series I concluded that:

Even at the very inception of life, which for the sake of scientific precision could be defined as just prior to any measurable trace of realized negative-entropy [or negentropy, as Schrödinger termed it], there is already timshel entropy reduction. So there is still a possibility that my definition for life [Life is timshel negentropy] has some viable claim to originality, unless Schrödinger's book (like his famous cat) negates this possibility upon examination.

Having now read Schrödinger's What is Life?, I believe my linking of the word timshel, as a philosophical descriptor of a sublime potential for willful creativity, with the word negentropy, which was the essence of Schrödinger's physical description for what we know to be life, retains a viable claim to originality. It formulates a definition of life that not only does not violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics, but also incorporates potential creativity.
