      1) Self Replicating

      2) Self enclosed

      3) Interact meaningfully with the environment

      Viruses are self replicating and interact meaningfully but they are not self enclosed

      Micelles are self enclosed and interact meaningfully with the environment (having hydrophobic tails) but they do not self replicate

      Meaningful is intentionally subjective.

      Any thoughts?
