论文摘要
问题“什么是生活？”各个领域的研究人员都询问和研究。然而，到目前为止，还没有提出过统一生活各个方面的全球理论。考虑到出生理论的物理原理应该是一个以统一的世界而闻名的，并且生命过程是不可逆转的选择性的，我们通过演绎推断表明，最大的熵生产原理对生育环境中的出生和生命的进化起着至关重要的作用。为了解释在贫瘠的环境时期生命的生存策略，我们还提出生命同时通过平衡热力学的动力学来开发了化学反应的可逆性和关闭开关机理。因此，由于非平衡热力学和由于在交替的环境条件下的平衡热力学而引起的驱动力之间的合作，已经实现了生命的出生和演变。
The question "What is life?" has been asked and studied by the researchers of various fields. Nevertheless, no global theory which unified various aspects of life has been proposed so far. Considering that the physical principle for the theory of birth should be the one known for the unanimated world, and that the life processes are irreversibly selective, we showed by a deductive inference that the maximum entropy production principle plays an essential role for the birth and the evolution of life in a fertile environment. In order to explain the survival strategy of life in a barren period of environment, we also proposed that life had simultaneously developed a reversible on and off switching mechanism of the chemical reactions by the dynamics of equilibrium thermodynamics. Thus, the birth and evolution of life have been achieved by the cooperation between the driving force due to the non-equilibrium thermodynamics and the protective force due to the equilibrium thermodynamics in the alternating environmental conditions.
