Starting with the postulate that nature abhors a vacuum of any kind, I think it wouldn't be too far-fetched to posit that higher orders of life can exist across computer systems, their mandibles invisible tendrils interconnecting billions of organic beings interfaced via an optical-aural-touch I/O system. Its metabolism at the low-level a complex reciprocal action composed of dopamine response from its base food-source transmogrified into encoded information via physical input excreted from the cerebrum of a human. Dang, I just fed the beast.
