It is a just as false as tenacious impression, given us by the optical tactile experience of a fresh corpse, that the just perished organism chemically practically does not differ from the not-yet-perished organism. (re-counting of the atoms, a re-assessment of the weight, and a combustion-analysis would certainly result in equality). It is the unfortunate consequence of the system view [the organism as a (dynamical) system of actual molecules and atoms], while the one-molecular view (Unimol) [of organisms] already would have settled things with the classical chemical concepts of the definition of matter. In fact the true chemical difference is very great indeed, and the only later-on optically and tactically recognizable external differences (cooling down, rigor mortis, autolysis [self-disintegration] ) are insignificant phenomena in this respect. Of cause one has never failed to note, at the moment of death, the loss that also externally mechanically can be observed. Expressing this loss succinctly : The functional physical behavior and the contact- and resonance-giving "mind" (both contained in the self-one-function).
