Electroliquid Aggregation

--Charles Darwin:

“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.”


--Stephen Hawking:

“I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We’ve created life in our own image.”



----Electroliquid Aggregation:

To create responsive life, destructive change to the species such as viruses must be introduced. Whether a form can survive can be tested.
