UA, ever took apart a fairly simple mechanical contrivance such as a fishing reel? Notice, how it is made of arranged, coupled parts that work together to achieve function? Where, parts use materials, and so forth? Now, apply to the body plan and associated structures. The same obtains, and a logical first answer is to parts, wholes and to the assembly-coupling process. That is a commonplace, not hard to see; and yes there is fuzzyness around the edges of concepts, scales etc but not enough to twist the point into the meaninglessness you seem to want to get to. Now, go to the cell, considered as a body plan in its own right. We now have organelles, molecules, membranes and so forth. Molecular nanotech parts. Much of this turns on AA sequence chains, folding and assembly, most famously with the flagellum. Parts, assemblies, wholes. Next ponder D/RNA and info coding, here we see parts, assembly, wholes that use framing techniques. Nobel Prize level work identified codes and we have seen associated machinery that fits with the classic info system model, as say Yockey pointed out. All of this, despite fuzziness. KF |
