I would qualify "alive" things as anti entropic organisms. Organisms wich reduce #entropy of the universe by consuming energy, with the goal of keeping a inner order stable. In medicine you call that state of order "Homeostasis"

Homestais (live) happens through emergence.
Spontaneous order emerges and all individual actors starve to keep that order "alive"
We all starve to keep #Bitcoin "alive" -
