But that doesn't disqualify homeostasis as evidence of life, as corporations don't emerge except when living creatures create them.

Anyway, as I understood it, homeostasis is by definition a quality of living beings. Many things have a tendency towards an equilibrium, and of course that doesn't have to have anything to do with life.

Am I misunderstanding the claim?
