Imagine a computer like a PDP-11 but with more than 3 billion SP4T switches. The switches are various combinations of 'magic' and 'more magic'
the authors of the code are dead, there are no comments except for old code, and sometimes the comments run anyway
and it's wet
this is biology.
@NanoRaptor FTR, I showed this to some folks, and had to explain the context for mostly non techie people.
It was fun.
TL;DR
We are just moist, ambulatory switching processors, activating oxygenated, ATP-to-ADP-break fueled servos, all held together by a cobbled-together structural system (aw, my lower back), interacting with the world via stimuli-response gooey CMOS circuits, and some twitchy appendages.
Oh, the poetry.
