Biology is inductive technology, built from the specific to the general through trial and error.
Human inventions are mostly deductive technology, built from the general to the specific through the understanding of principles, and trial and error.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both. Biology's biggest advantage is a head start. However biology while sometimes elegant can also be very dumb. For example DNA is spaghetti code.
- Mobleysoft 6y agoYour assertion that DNA is spaghetti code seems short sighted while the inner-workings of structures, such as human brains, which it can generate remain to be fully understood. There is more to learn. What you deem to be spaghetti may be the most efficient way to make one piece of code perform well under broad spectrum of conditions.
