This scientific work claims to have determined life's purpose/meaning

Words via author:

I had years prior sought to axiomatically describe consciousness.

In reducing the problem, I had encoded a naive, minute ("minoot") function:

c = ⌈P∞⌉ᵘ•σm

…whence “⌈P∞⌉” symbolizes some perceptual vector bundle, that persists on some computational boundary “ᵘ”.

Albeit, the function, though perhaps quite wrong, encompassed some logic; computational systems (life/non life) bound in some computational limit, such that there exists u, a non-polynomial time complete function sequence.

Therein, a quaint meaning rather merely emerged, en passant. See ‘Purgeable Paradox’ section via specified quora url.
