"Motivated by seventeenth-century insights into this infinity, this paper proposes a language to discuss life as an infinite double cascade of machines making machines. The two cascades meet at the critical point of 10^3 s in time and 1 micron in length.."

Thank you @andrejpaleo! Since many people could not access "Life sets off a cascade of machines" on PNAS, I uploaded a preprint at hal.science/hal-04968880...
