As a reminder of the complexities here, note that going from physical ->
chemical -> biological is going BOTH up AND down in scale. (The physical
is both the biggest and the smallest.) This is important because QM could
be said to be a science of contextuality that might be parlayed to subjects
at any scale. The sequence is an increase in intensional complexity, not
in extensivity. It is a focusing in on the mesoscopic scales.
