[[Gene repair and protein reconstruction are not “error correction” though that expression is sometimes used metaphorically.]]

It is error correction- biologically, a cell is pre-equipted with code that anticipates errors due ot mutations and dividing errors

[[Shannon codes are not at all that mysterious,]]

Again, we’re not talking about Code when discussing Shannon theory- we’re talking about the comunicaiton mechanisms of code- about the sender and receiver- not what hte sender sends

[[Information theory is another animal altogether. It has nothing to do with “intelligence” or “knowledge.”]]

First- noone said information is intelligence but you- secondly, it takes intelligence to construct information-

“Again, we’re not talking about Code....”

ahhh, the method or algorithms use for error correction are called “error correction CODEs, commonly abbreviated ECCs.”

So if you are not talking about that, what are you talking about?

The question is rhetorical.
