Classifying the Properties of Life

One of the most crucial issues in science, and in particular biology, is the definition of life. There are more than 100 definitions, many of them conflicting with each other. Professor Trifonov advanced the proposal of drawing from the properties listed in the existing definitions a unique minimalistic description of what life is. This paper is aimed at analyzing from a linguistic and reasoning perspective the method used, showing the logic and semantic properties of the definitory elements, and the possible implications and purposes of the different definitional structures.
