But that's what seems to be conserved for four billion years.

That's what life established upon.

I think when we truly understand the answer to that question, we may have just made ourselves life, right?

I don't think we know quite how translation machinery as a whole fits into the equation.

So we try to understand ribosomes, RNA, how the linear information is processed.

or the genetic code, why this codons, not others, why 20, not more, not less.

And we are sort of moving towards transition.

That's what we are working on anyway, to finally look at the patterns in which this system operates itself.

And if you understand that, you're really unlocking a very emergent behavior.

There's actually a paper published in 2013, I want to say the first author is Zirinov.

So they surveyed computational engineered systems level computation energy consumption.

And they tried to understand whether the universe is using its own or life is using its full capacity of energy consumption.

And whether if different planets in the universe had life, the capacity would increase or decrease.

Does life operate at its energy maximum?

And they think that it does, that it actually operates at an efficiency that is far more above and beyond any computational system.

That you tell me.

That's why I dropped the citation.

I found the citation.

It's quite an interesting paper.

It's a bit, you know, it's a... Obviously, you can only calculate and infer these things.
