However, it is important to note that by definition, the polymers described in this example are not technically living due to the introduction of a dormant state, as termination has only been decreased, not eliminated (though this topic is still up for debate).
然而，值得注意的是，根據定義，在這個例子中所描述的聚合物不是技術上的活性，由於引入了休眠狀態，終止只被減少，不排除（雖然這個話題還在爭議中）。
