Mind listing different things it does? I'm having a hard time finding everything.
Did you guys actually look at it? it does a lot more than self replicating.
Not only life can self replicate.
2, 3, 1.#INF... Yeah... *Almost* a Fibonacci sequence...
It can do all of those things except breathe (which isn't actually required to be living) try putting caustic gas nearby, or feeding it salt. Also, look at is closely, it does move.
It's not life: Okay, it CAN reproduce itself, but it cannot breath, cannot eat, and cannot move (Replication doesn't count as moving). And it hasn't the ability to react to something it "sees" or "hears". So, it is just a senseless, replicating thing ;-)
