Our universe (which may be one of many, although we can't presently and perhaps never can prove it) is a sub-quantum hologram, with many levels of structural abstraction--ranging from the minimal quanta of information--subqubits, if you will--up to our entire universe. What we generally construe as "life" covers a range of structural abstractions. Although it's only crudely analogous, you might think of it as the information complexity analog to the way visible (to unaided human eyes) light spectrum spans a range of electromagnetic vibratory frequencies. All phenomena in our universe are part of the hologram.
