    living organic link

    And you are ignoring my first post that said it’s just atoms moving and bonding. “Living” is only a chemical process. I believe it was Robert Hook who when looking at a living cell under the first microscope powerful enough, commented on his disappointment that “cells were just machinery”

    Yes their simulation failed because somehow there computers aren’t any faster than today’s computers.

    The writers knew it didn’t make any sense which is why they lampshaded it-

    Stamets: “At the quantum level, there is no difference between biology and physics. No difference at all.”

        despite the show emphatically saying that the simulations kept repeatedly failing.

        Which I already said is odd because it means their computers aren’t any faster than today’s computers. If Disco was set in 2025, I could understand why they couldn’t simulate protein folding with enough accuracy. But this is set in the future where they can record every atom with such perfection (Heisenberg compensator) that every atom in a person’s DNA is routinely read, transported across thousands of miles and reconstructed perfectly.

        The network required a living construct to engage with. I already said there would need to be a physical interface between the computer and the mycelial network.

        You’re arguing in bad faith I had already addressed every point that you repeated. The only one ignoring what I wrote is you.

        Don’t take Trek so seriously. It’s just a show. It’s ok to point out holes.
