Below, each lifecycle stage keeps the plain-English goal, but the “What it really means you must do” entry is now roughly 100 words, giving you a clearer picture of the hands-on work. Step Plain-English goal What it really means you must do (≈100 words) 1. Collect open data Give the model a rich, accurate diet.…

Below are one concrete, ready-to-download dataset or archive for each of the six domains you plan to feed into a “life-inquiry” LLM. Each example is open-access, richly annotated, and maps cleanly onto at least one of the framework’s life-dimensions (agency, adaptation, communication, etc.). Follow the “Why it matters / How to fetch” notes to decide…

Data Sources for a Life-Inquiry LLM Building an LLM to explore “life-like” entities across biology, artificial systems, philosophy, and astrobiology requires extremely broad and diverse data. Below we outline data modalities, key open-access repositories, alignment with the framework’s dimensions (agency, adaptability, etc.), and ethical/diversity considerations. Data Modalities & Example Sources Key Repositories and Datasets The…

Introduction The question of what constitutes “life” has plagued philosophers, biologists, and theorists for millennia. Traditional definitions, rooted in biological paradigms, focus on cellular organization, metabolism, reproduction, and evolutionary adaptation. However, as our understanding of complex systems expands and artificial intelligence approaches unprecedented sophistication, we find ourselves confronting entities that exhibit life-like properties without fitting…

Introduction: The Limitations of Reductionist Models Traditional approaches to defining and understanding life have often relied on binary classifications or two-dimensional frameworks—alive versus dead, biological versus artificial, conscious versus unconscious. While these dichotomies provide useful starting points, they fail to capture the rich, multifaceted nature of existence that emerges when we examine life through the…
