Seems problematic to define capacity. A minefield has the capacity to cause change. Unless you're making a metaphysical statement about freewill raining down unto an otherwise deterministic universe from a nondeterministic plane.

My working definition of life is "Any system which intakes energy to maintain self coherence against the ebb of entropy."

I mentioned in another thread Micheal that I added you to my ICQ contact list after reading your People Structures essay. Hope to see you online.
