Fair enough Bert .. morpohology predictions and emergence are two different issues, perhaps separated by many numerous processes (perhaps chaotic, some fully deterministic, perhaps combinations of both), each having their own initial conditions.
The statement about unpredictability still stands.
I see that it is your opinion that life is inevitable. This is thus, the optimistic perspective, (which is fine with me).
Why is the unpredictability limited only to the morphology ?
I agree the scales are different, but unless we can bound the scales of each system, I assert that we cannot predict where (conditions), and when (in time), the next instance of similarity might occur.
Cheers
