Schrödinger asked the question: "How does the living organism avoid decay?" The obvious answer is: "By eating, drinking, breathing and (in the case of plants) assimilating." While energy from nutrients is necessary to sustain an organism's order, Schrödinger also presciently postulated the existence of other molecules equally necessary for creating the order observed in living organisms: "An organism's astonishing gift of concentrating a stream of order on itself and thus escaping the decay into atomic chaos – of drinking orderliness from a suitable environment – seems to be connected with the presence of the aperiodic solids..." We now know that this "aperiodic" crystal is [[DNA]], and that its irregular arrangement is a form of information. "The DNA in the cell nucleus contains the master copy of the software, in duplicate. This software seems to control by specifying an algorithm, or set of instructions, for creating and maintaining the entire organism containing the cell."<ref name=":6">Nelson, P. (2004).

薛定谔提出了一个问题: “活的有机体如何避免衰变? ”显而易见的答案是: “通过吃、喝、呼吸或吸收(对植物来说)。”来自营养物质的能量是维持有机体秩序的必要条件，但薛定谔还预见性地假定了某种物质的存在，这种物质生命秩序的产生来说也是必要的: “一个有机体的惊人天赋是将一股秩序流集中于自身，从而避免衰变成一群混乱的原子。而在适宜的环境中维持自身秩序的特性，似乎与非周期性固体的存在有关.....”现在我们知道这种“非周期性”晶体是 DNA，而它不规则的排列则是一种信息形式。“细胞核中的DNA就像是计算机软件的主拷贝，一式两份。而这个”软件“似乎是通过指定的算法或指令来控制，以创造和维护包括细胞在内的整个有机体<ref name=":6" />。”
