Aristotelian hylomorphism holds that an organism's form (soul) just is the organization of its living matter; when that organized unity dissolves into two, the original form ceases—this is death.

Aristotelian: "Aristotelian" refers to ideas and methods based on the teachings of Aristotle, an ancient Greek philosopher who lived over 2,000 years ago. He emphasized observing the real world, using common sense reasoning, and organizing knowledge into logical categories—rather than relying solely on abstract ideas. His approach heavily influenced Western thought, science, and education for centuries, making him one of the most important thinkers in history.
Form (soul)(as used in Aristotelian philosophy): In this context, the organizing principle or pattern that makes living matter into a living thing—not a ghostly spirit, but rather what makes something alive and functional.
Organism(as what the argument is discussing): Any living thing, like a plant, animal, or human being—something that's alive and can grow, reproduce, and respond to its environment.
Organized unity(as describing what happens when matter has form): When separate parts are arranged and connected in a coordinated way so they function as one working system.
