Is a cell getting infected by a virus a boundary violation?
What I think makes this tricky is that viruses generally don’t physically penetrate cell membranes. Instead, cells just “let in” some viruses (albeit against their better judgement).
Then once you answer the above, please also consider:
Is a cell taking in nutrients from its environment a boundary violation?
I don’t know what makes this different from the virus example (at least as long as we’re not allowed to refer to preferences).
