Define life

Just wondering about /sci/'s definition of life. None of that made of cells bullcrap. Bonus points for answers which adequately handle fire, viruses, corporations, and artificial intelligence.

Best answer will recieve a box containing a simulation of a universe whose denizens are just on the verge of discovering that their world is a simulation.

Self-replicating matter which is also capable of evolving. This covers pretty much all life. Fire is not capable of evolving, corporations are abstract organizational ideas not matter, and artificial intelligence is not matter, it is a phenomenon that exists due to a specific organization of matter, similar to how software is not a tangible object, yet can exist within computer hardware (read Jerry Fodor's and other contemporary philosophy of mind authorities' works for more information).
