That's the core processing center for information for life.
It has multiple steps.
It initiates, it elongates, it terminates, and it recycles.
It operates discrete bits of information.
Itself is like a chemical decoding device.
And that is incredibly unique for translation that I don't think you will find anywhere else in the cell that does this.
I would divide it into actually even four more additional steps or disciplines than what would it take to study it by the way you described it.
It's a chemical system.
It's the compounds that make it up are chemicals.
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.
