I think you'll find this interesting: http://accelerating.org/articles/transcensionhypothesis.html http://accelerating.org/articles/transcensionhypothesis.html It argues almost the opposite of your points re: "everything is an organism." One of the things the author talks about is the possibility that our universe (and just about everything in it) is exposed to evolutionary forces. It even deals with your "distances too large to form a feedback loop" issue (by taking the relativity of distance and time to logical extremes).
