In Chapter 1 we said that biological systems realise ๐๐ก๐ค๐จ๐ช๐ง๐: a causal regime ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฐ๐ from those at work in other physical and chemical natural systems, and thus an ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐ property.

2. Mainstream thinking emphasises the role of evolution and adaptation, i.e., the history of changes, but forgetting the organism, which becomes almost *dispensable*.
