And so he was able to refer an assembly index and copy number of rule whatever doing this thing. But I digress. But it does show you can apply it at a higher scale. So what do we need to do to apply assembly theory to things? We need to agree there's a common set of building blocks. So in a cell, well, in a... In a multicellular creature, you need to look back in time.

So there is the initial cell, which the creature is fertilized and then starts to grow. And then there is cell differentiation. And you have to then make that causal chain both on those. So that requires... development of the organism in time. Or if you look at the cell surfaces and the cell types, they've got different features on the cell, walls and inside the cell. So we're building up.

But obviously I want a leap to things like emoticons, language, mathematical theorems.

Yeah. And I think they are related, but in hierarchies of emergence, right? So you shouldn't compare them. I mean, the assembly index of a human brain, what does that even mean? Well, maybe we can look at the morphology of the human brain, say all human brains have these number of features in common.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

If they have those number of, and then let's look at a brain in a whale or a dolphin or a chimpanzee or a bird and say, okay, let's look at the assembly indices, number of features in these. And now the copy number is just a number of how many birds are there? How many chimpanzees are there? How many humans are there?

Yeah. And that means you need to have some idea of the anatomy.
