Absolutely right, from informational perspective. The point I was making is that, to change that program, the only thing that can be directly affected is how tightly something sticks to something else...
which controls timing and location etc; in digital computers it mostly boils down to what information goes where and when. not so different.

Where does the energy as information come from that links where and when? Tell me that it emerged and link emergence to evolution if you want to be included among those who serious scientists ridicule.
