It's physical.
It tracks the energy to make its job, to do its job.
It's informatic.
What is processed are the bits.
It's computational.
the discrete states that the system is placed when the information is being processed.
That's itself is computational and it's biological.
There's variability and inheritance that come from imperfect replication even and imperfect computation.
Yeah, and it tracks this information.
So it is almost a mini computer device inside ourselves.
And that's the oldest computational device of life.
It's likely the key operation system that had to evolve for life to emerge.
Exactly.
And the computers don't link information to function, right?
They are not tightly coupled, nowhere close to what translation is.
or the way translation does it.
So that's the number one, I think, difference between the two.
And yes, it's informatic, and we can discuss this further too.
Yeah, so, well, we can start with the more, I guess, the ones that are more established, which is the chemical aspect of the translation machinery.
The specific compounds make up the assembly of RNA.
