he First Three Seconds he First Three Seconds The basic building block of matter is the proton. In the proton are over 80 features later found in living organisms and nearly 40 features found in computers and at the same time in living organisms again as protons comprise atoms. In this way, the proton apprears as a candidate for the archetype or imago (see click) of biological life and the computer (see also: Is Nature a Computing Entity). Many significant thinkers saw the biological in the physical (click). As the proton was created within the first second of the big bang, features later found in living organisms are, according to this view, present from the beginning.
Below is a partial table of contents and the following selected analogies. Prototypes in biology are found in Enzymes; Biological vs. quantum error correction mechanisms; and Virtual metabolism.
