Vitalik Buterin described Ethererum as “complete Turing machine”. A machine cannot be an organsim. Blockchain is, referring to the work of Heinz von Foerster, even a trivial machine.

Which does not draw back anything from the main thoughts of this article. I think the organsim is the community around the machine, who built it, who changes it and who uses it.
