How do you say "Life" in Physics?

Life as Physics. Seems to have been some advances on how life increases in order vs everything else that increases in disorder, since the last time I looked. The Crooks equation is new to me as well as this guy’s (MIT’s Jeremy England) work which combines Biology and Physics.
Last time I looked at any of this stuff was Ilya Prigogine's "Dissipative Structures".
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissipative_system )
But that seems like a continuous system and England seems to be talking about discrete (dissipative) steps.
