Life vs. alife (Doyle)

Can pure ideas still be maintained if it was possible to comprehend the infinitude of possible impure types at a single moment. We can't even say general infinitude comprehension because the infinitude by definition is both endless and temporaly shifting.

The boundaries surrounding terms are not as concrete as we would like to think. Derrida would add both complexity through deconstruction at a single moment, but also the realization of boundary indefiniteness through time and shifting cultural/cognitive change.(check out 81 in On Life and Deutscher's description of deconstruction) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fljw7dTl0PI (I think amoeba) In particular when another ameoba encounters another and has to deal with eating/embedding the new boundary within itself.media type="youtube" key="Fljw7dTl0PI" width="425" height="350"
