Ok, Here is just a thought I had.

I have this idea for creating a LifeScript, probably in a wiki-type format on the web.

It would allow people from around the globe to participate in creating an actual LifeScript.

What is a LifeScript?

It would be a script that defines what LIFE is.
It is a script that people could add to and change as it develops.

Instead of me getting all philisophical here...let me just make a sample of my idea.

<-LifeScript->

# include variables;
# include LowerFunctions;

FUNCTION DoLifeSupport()
{
DoHeartBeat();
DoBreathing();
}

STATE UNCONSCIOUS()
{
DoLifeSupport();
If (REM = TRUE){ DoDreamState(); }
}

STATE SUBCONCIOUS()
{
MemoryAccess= TRUE;
}

STATE CONSCIOUSNESS()
{
Sight=TRUE;
Hearing = TRUE;
MotorControls=TRUE

}

<- Death->

You get the idea...it's a build & fill in the blanks kinda thing...what do you think?

Although its an intriguing idea, I'm not sure what relevance it has to LSL unless you intend to use said script as a basis for some form of 'life aware' object within SL.

I guess the possibilities are endless, but yeah...that was my idea.

I know LSL doesn't have includes and the sample format I posted was obviously not LSL...this I know, but only used it to express my thinking.

Just curious if anyone liked this idea.

I am very intrigued with the idea of making an object that is a low level life form... a single celled organism maybe? I know this isn't the goal of your idea, but a step towards something bigger maybe.

but these life forms could somehow replicate/reproduce and take over the world. we are doomed!
