Information Complication (General)

dhw: Thank you for at last ceasing to conflate the mechanism and the information. However, I'd like to add that the mechanism at the foundation of the living process also reads information that comes from outside the living cell. The cell/cell community would not survive or evolve if its reading mechanism could not process and use the information it absorbs from the environment.-Different kind of information, informative, but not functional as the information is within the cell.

> dhw: What gave first life the initial information to use? Shouldn't you also ask what gave first life the mechanism with which to use the initial information? You know the answers perfectly well! Some people say it was an unknown supernatural intelligence they call God or Allah or Jehovah or Yahweh or Mbombo or Unkulunkulu or Nanabozho (real names by the way). Others say it all came about by chance. Some of us admit we don't know.-Don't you want to know? Do you care to know?
