What does it mean to be alive?
There're different levels - all of them are based on awareness:

Photon-phonon connection
Light and mechanical forces work together optomechanically to provide a working state of being alive in the brain (which is electromechanical).
Being 'conscious' in the body entails both light -> electricity and matter-movement (i.e. biomechanics) to synergistically work together to form thought. Brain "consciousness" requires a matter of movement to allow a person to be alive and an ability to keep going (and if not, be hit with electricity to reinvigorate mitochrondrial ATP production). The continuation of the movement of matter is continued by biophotons that are produced from such movement of matter.

- Much like a boat won't move far in still waters, whereas a large wave can bring it to shore, the photons don't move far until until the phonons match the frequency of the photon to carry them close enough to the brain to enable movement of matter there enough to create thought (as photons don't directly enter the brain - the brain either makes its own or it's converted into electrical energy).
- This is kind of why if someone loses their heartbeat, they first undergo CPR (to create phonons) and then get hit with an electrical AED for the electricity to be carried via the phonons to the brain to get to a place where thought can take place, like the hypothalamus that can wake them up.
