Some philosophers ask questions such as: What is philosophy? What is a human being? What is a thing? What is life? If a question expresses a hole in understanding, then filling the hole leaves a whole. "Biological Circularchy" is supposed to be an adjustable formal framework with enough expressive power to articulate biological theory about Earthly Life in the sense of multi-scale biological autonomy constrained by thermodynamics. It is a never-ending project, and the following link is a "table of contents" for the first interim report. This is not a secret.

Category-theoretic keywords: commutative diagram, bundle, dependent products, sub-object classifiers, nilsquare infinitesimal, monoidal category, "arrows-only" category.
