In the citing paper
“Like Jordan, he was influenced by the organicists' view that the mysterious ingredient of life was yet to be discovered; but rather than opting for quantum indeterminacy, Bohr claimed that the mystery ingredient was a quantum concept he had helped to conceive: complementarity.”

In the citing paper
“Bohr attempted to extend this notion into biology by arguing that there was an analogous complementarity between the functionality of life and our ability to study it.”

“Likewise, in biology current chemistry and physics seem unable to explain life, therefore one must accept it as a primitive fact (Bohr, 1933; Kay, 1992, 1993, p. 133; Leyla, Freire & El Hani, 2015; Morange, 2020, p. 72; see also McKaughan, 2005).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
