Contrast your idea to the ideas used in the search for life on Mars. The Martian atmosphere is very near its chemical equilibrium, the Earths atmosphere is dynamic; Mars is (more or less) dead, Earth is (not as) alive (as it should be if we weren't messing it up). My point is that change is life; stasis is death. On the day we die our body begins a journey to chemical equilibrium, our brains reach electrical equilibrium rather quickly. Then they stop there.
