Thank you so much for this sidebar on the message (DNA) versus life!

I continue to embrace the Shannon model which I might point out is also compatible with this speculation.

And Wimmer made the point by bootstrapping the polio virus in the lab. But to do it, it started with the message itself - and then provided a cell-free juice whereupon the virus became active - or in the Shannon model, successfully communicating as "noise" in the channel.

The Miller/Urey experiments lacked the insight of the information (successful communications) - and the message.

I think it's quite compatible, too, A-G.
