摘要翻译：
“生命是什么？”一直被各个领域的研究者所要求和研究。然而，到目前为止，还没有一个统一生活各个方面的全球性理论被提出来。考虑到诞生论的物理原理应该是一致世界的物理原理，以及生命过程具有不可逆的选择性，我们通过一个演绎推论证明了最大熵产生原理对于在肥沃环境中生命的诞生和进化起着至关重要的作用。为了解释生命在环境贫瘠时期的生存策略，我们还利用平衡热力学动力学提出生命同时发展了化学反应的可逆开关机制。因此，在交替的环境条件下，由非平衡态热力学产生的驱动力和由平衡态热力学产生的保护力共同作用，实现了生命的诞生和演化。

英文摘要：
  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.
