II.   Life

Non-Hydro-Carbon Life is defined as the sixth level of standard elements in the Universe, defined by non-naturally occurring bonding of elements, usually as a result of an intelligent higher order life-force.

The distinction of Non-Hydro-Carbon Life is the non use of naturally occurring hydro-carbon-based elements in preference for other close forming elements such as metals and silicates in order to intelligently form more complex arrangements.

Non-Hydro-Carbon Life can itself then be defined by six (6) levels, the simplest being components - complex molecules and the most sophisticated being self-aware life.

Non Hydro-Carbon Life itself may be defined into six (6) levels, the simplest being wires, boards and polymer materials and the most complex and sophisticated being self-aware higher order life.

(i) Level 1 is defined as Components

(ii) Level 2 is Solid State Mono Machines defined by the existence of moving and mechanical mechanisms; and

(iii) Level 3 is Mono Processor Systems defined by the existence of a micro-processor and simple computing operating system; and

(iv) Level 4 is Dual Processor Systems defined by the existence of two (2) separate micro-processing and operating systems; and

(v) Level 5 is Triple Processor Systems defined by the existence of three (3) separate micro-processing and operating systems capable of co-operating harmoniously.

(vi) Level 6 is Self-Aware Life is defined as a Triple Processor System demonstrating self awareness, intent and self generated creating thoughts and most importantly the capacity to dream.
