I hope these simplistic examples illustrate an 'information processing' system in which "data is process; process is data" which I conjecture is how DNA and a neural system 'operate.' Good morning dougd!
May well be an excellent conjecture; possibly DNA does work this way. But this begs the question: What is the source of the instructions, or program?
Thanks so much for writing, dougd.

Exactly.. How did the first DNA sequence form ALIVE?..
Since DNA can also be dead?.. Dead DNA is just protoplasm..
Even, Dead DNA would be almost impossible to form statistically..
Wonder why nobody cares what makes DNA ALIVE or NOT..
DNA is only wondrous because its alive, dead DNA is merely "SNOT"...

What is the source of the instructions, or program? Most functions are not computable. There would be no program, no instructions.
