While as you note we can quantify aspects of nature, the level or measurement we ascribe to any aspect remains a value judgement
I am unaware of ANY absolute in nature
Well one I guess would be the speed of light
Other aspects of Physics are still being refined and I guess will reach a final absolute sometime
But LIFE I would contend, while operating under the laws of physics, has a flexibility to conform to conditions suitable to grow and reproduce and the adaptability to change should conditions change
Conditions are what they are and life is what it is
End of story
I would say that another absolute in nature is that it inadvertently seeks to create life.
From all non-intelligent life's POV, this is good.
A few with intelligence might not think life so great, but if they are still here, it would seem that life is not that bad.
