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.

Chemists showed this in many different ways.

We can rip apart the entire machinery.

We know that at the core of it, there's an RNA that's...

that operates not only as an information system itself or information itself, but also as an enzyme.

And origin of life chemists make these molecules easily.

Now we know we can manipulate RNA, we can make even with single pot chemistries, we can create compounds.

I'm not sure if that's what they call it, but that's how I think of it.

Because it is all combined in a test tube and you know the outcome.

And it's mathematical.

Once you know the right environment and the right chemistry that needs to get into this container or this pot, you know what the outcome is.

There's no luck there anymore.
