>A cellular automata (pic related) doesn't have much to it, yet it still has complex structure&behavior
I meant chemically. Like >>6113658 said, the degrees of freedom (molecularly speaking) in a cells are several orders or magnitude greater than the degrees of freedom in an atom.
>No, it is not. Homeostasis is property of a system that regulates its internal environment, are you saying an atom does not do this? Does god?
I don't think you can assign an "internal environment" to an atom. I realize that they have constituent parts, but that doesn't qualify them for homeostasis.
>Topest of LELs, you saying bacteria don't respond to stimuli?!?
No, I'm not saying that. Solid reading comprehension there. "stimuli" is an incredibly vague term, and I don't want to get into the semantics of that argument.
>Yes
Aroms don't use energy, nor do they have energy uptake pathways, nor do they use energy for any particular side pathways.
>And that is how you rectify the idiocy of your predecessors
Okay.
