Note 216

The in feldspar lacking transformation possibility to something living, a transformation possibility that in protein ==> protoplasm gives us the image of "so much alike", is a process taking place in another domain. And moreover, there are so many similarities between organismic and inorganic forms, which one finally should stop quoting because there is truly no connection or even a bridge.
