Abstract

The present transdisciplinary study shall challenge the long-standing problem: What is life? Indeed, it is often mentioned that we will not be able to answer this problem satisfactorily even in the future. However, it is possible to provide an ostensive definition of life based on a self-consistent way. It is clear that the self–nonself circulation theory developed by Masatoshi Murase in 2000- characterized by the 5-NECTE principle—provides a useful model not only for understanding the dynamics of living cells and the origin of life, but for realizing the co-existence or being of the self and nonself in a circulation way. Here, we need a paradigm shift from the outdated materialistic and reductionist view of life to the process-centric and holistic view of life. Life must be considered as emergent properties driven by circular processes, but not linear processes, leading to self-nested hierarchical evolution. Only then, we will be able to understand how to integrate our shattered world leading to the circle of wholeness.
