Self-identities and durability of biosystems via their abstracting capacity

•Synthesis from an abstraction upholds biology.•Biology is for abstracting the class property from the individuals.•Durability as a class property is a concrete example of abstraction in biology.

Any surviving organism is unique in abstracting and holding its self-identity as experiencing and processing different individual events of a concrete nature. The organism that can survive maintains its self-identity as abstracting its own durability as a class property out of those different individual events to be met and processed. Rather, the organism has the internal propensity of making its own actualization durable while processing the material resources available that are individually distinguishable. Biology is distinctive as compared to physics in availing itself of the synthesis of organization with use of the material act of measurement as a form of abstraction.
