- Generically the study of life
Description (Specifications)[edit]
The Imperial Ministry of Science defines Biology as the study of Life. It subdivides Life into:
- Conventional Life AKA Wet Life (Organic)
- Unconventional Life AKA Dry Life (Inorganic)
- Exotic Life AKA Strange Life (Neither Organic nor Inorganic), i.e. outside the normally understood parameters
and Biology is subdivided into categories to match:
- Conventional Biology: The study of Organic Life
- Astrobiology: The study of Inorganic Life
- Exobiology: The study of Exotic Life
- Xenobiology: The comparison of biota across these sub-categories
Note, Biology includes those species that have achieved Sentience and are recognised as Sophont.
