Abstract: From experimental observations on regeneration of an hydra from dissociated cell aggregates, we proposed a formal theory of living state by defining new concepts such as an individual and the free entropy. The critical number for forming a homogeneous hierarchical is discussed. We also discuss the evolution from a homogeneous colony of cell aggregates to a structured multi-cell animal.
