Life's Secret Code: The Eight Rules

Everything alive plays by the same 8 rules, no exceptions. It’s life's secret

code. You’re highly organized, not just a blob of goo. You react to things,

like flinching from a bright light. You grow up. You keep your internal settings stable,

like a personal thermostat—that's homeostasis. You process energy, which is why you

eat. You make more of your kind. And over generations, your entire species

adapts and evolves to survive. So, from a single cell to you,

it's all the same game: follow the rules or you're out.
