No. The characteristics of living things are: Movement, respiration, sense, growth, reproduction, energy and nutrition. You need to have all of them to be considered alive. e.g. A car moves, takes in air, uses energy and some have sensors that can sense their surroundings but you cannot say a car is alive.

It replicates independently of the host chromosome and carries information required for its own replication.

It is yes, classified as dead. It exists in physical matter and doesn't breathe and has no life force. So paper is indeed dead. HOWEVER, paper is made of trees, and trees are living. But if you were to cut a tree, it would die. SO paper would be dead or alive, depending on how you see it.

Check the Wikipedia article on "Life"; a living being (or "life") is expected to have certain characteristics. The fact that something moves is not a requirement (plants generally don't move). Moving waves might have some characteristics of living beings (especially with some stretch of your imagination...) but certainly not all of them, not in a way that would be recognized by a serious biologist.

Neon is chemically inert. It doesnt react with any other element and (to the best of my knowledge) has no role in living things. So I would comment that the element neon is not found inside living things.
