You might as well ask how I would go about a project to define and identify fairies. But as others have said, it should be possible to identify kinds by their inability to fit into a nested hierarchy with other kinds. Since we have no such organisms, we conclude that kinds do not exist.

You have defined that Kinds are species that cannot form a nested hierarchy. What is an example of a species that cannot form a nested hierarchy? What would be the molecular make up of such a species?
