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.

Light

Photons are absorbed when they correspond to the difference in energy between two different possible electron states. Observed colours are the inverse of the objects ability to absorb photons.
