Random Thoughts

Cell signalling

Chemistry vs Photonics, Electric, Sound

Chemical signalling allows the signal to carry methods of transformation (essentially code) in addition to communicating state.


Other

IKKB protein and the reversal of insulin resistance

Programming Atoms

Is it engineering or programming?

'Simple' building blocks coming together to create complex interactions

Emergence

Extensible, Reused, Re-factored, Re-appropriated, Hijacked

Contaminate, Corrupt, Desecrate, Mutate, Profane, Taint, Tarnish.

Life seems without qualms to re-appropriate pieces for completely different tasks.

Pragmatic.

I think I'm going to end this tangent here.
