Context:

But nowhere in current physics, chemistry, or biology do we
find any sign of a fundamental life principle, some elan vital that
distinguishes life from nonlife. Davies speculates, "A felicitous
mix of law and chance might be generalised to cosmology, pro-
ducing directional evolution from simple states, through com-
plex, to life and mind."

A felicitous mix of law and chance might be made more general and become the basis of cosmology, (etc).
