Well, interacting for as long as it lasts...

So, "Define life accurately". Sure, life is chemistry which utilizes some 'Energy' (Differences I gradients etc) to continue to make 'More' chemistry. With some of that interactions also becoming waste heat.
We are all tiny little 'Entropy factories'.
So 'Yes' life can survive.
Now the 'Soul' bit and the rest of it?
You'll need to supply the rigorous definitions, examples and evidence for.... before we can continue with that part of the conversation.

this is the whole problem with life, it doesn't have a sound definition, long ago we used to think there was this life force that gave life to inaminate material, this was until it was discovered that substances only produced by living organisms were also able to be created with simple chemistry, once we figured out that life is just chemistry it lead to an explosion in medicine and other things alike, you can zoom into one of your cells which would be a complex eukaryote and you will find that no part of the cell is alive, its all just a series of chemical reactions partaking in a complex orchestra to keep the cell and the genetic material alive, so if your cells are not alive, and you are made entirely of cells, then you by definition are not alive, this is the problem with trying to define life, that's why i use the widely excepted nasa definition for life a self sustaining chemical system capable of darwinian evolution by this definition the simplest living thing earth is a viroid, a viroid is just a looped strand of rna that infects plant cells by hijacking one of there proteins called rna polymerase 2 to continuously replicate over and over, they are thought to possibly be some of the last living reminets of an rna world.
