DNA does not encode a complete model of the human that has the DNA, it encodes a bunch of potential clones of that human. This is an abstract, incomplete model.

DNA does not encode a complete model of the human that has the DNA, it encodes a bunch of potential clones of that human. This is an abstract, incomplete model. To encode a complete model you would need a complete physical measurement of this particular human as a physical system. But there is a theorem by Thomas Breuer that no physical system can contain a complete measurement of its own state.
