ABSTRACT
The structure of living things is a boundary condition which harnesses the physicochemical forces of the organism and as such, the structure of die organism transcends the laws of physics and chemistry. In Galileo's experiments of balls rolling down a slope, the angle of the slope was not derived from the laws of mechanics but was chosen by Galileo. This choice of slope was extraneous to the laws of mechanics, as the shape and manufacture of test tubes is extraneous to the laws of chemistry. The same holds for machine-like boundaries. All communications have machine types of boundaries, and these boundaries form a whole hierarchy of consecutive levels. A vocabulary sets boundary conditions to the utterance of the voice, a grammar harnesses words to form sentences, and the sentences are shaped into a text which conveys a communication These are the consecutive levels.
