 *Likewise, the world is dependent on the ecosystem of the galaxy which is itself dependent on the ecosystem of the universe, which is dependent on the physical laws made known at creation.
 *From the [[General Theory of Living Systems]] we know that the material components of life are matched with information components, each dependent on the other.
