Atoms are in general different by their elementary charges but they can build molecules according to the available amount of other basic elements.
The helical moving DNA spiral is IMO governed by the double helical electric currents and their perpendicular magnetic fields which connect the two DNA strands to one, thus building the basics of everything growing, including humans.
I saw a documentary about manufacturing parts which then self-assemble into the desired product, simply by throwing all the parts into a bin and shaking it.
Reminded me of that.
As I haphazardly put this in the science and religion section....
I have been considering the possibility that "God" evolved.
That would essentially mean self-assembly in the early stages -until increasing levels decision could be applied.
After sufficient understanding, it would become purposeful self-evolution by altering the otherwise-inevitable course of purely natural events.
Such a God would self-assemble similar to the way we do, but from most basic components and forces rather than already-complex components -then self-determine.
It would seem logical that decision needed to be applied very early on (increasing capability by increasing complexity).
In other words, a process
OR necessarily self-assembled before more complex process
ES were possible
.
It stands to reason, as ANY and EVERY process must be accomplished by a sufficient processor.
Any most-simple interaction could be viewed as a sort of logic gate (and/or transistor -if behavior was/was also analog).
Various arrangements and increased complexity of such would make more things possible.
Humans self-assembled within a very complex environment -
after our environment self-assembled.
So... the question is....
From greatest possible simplicity, would it be logical to deduce that a universe and all therein necessarily preceded true, conscious decision -or that true, conscious decision necessarily preceded a universe?
If the initial "environment" was greatest possible simplicity, there would be no complex environment or "self"/inhabitant within it.
(Yet -it is now obviously many selves/inhabitants within the one environment.)
Inhabitants are basically know-ers and decision-makers.
What would cause/allow for greatest possible simplicity to become an increasingly complex environment if not an increasingly-complex processor?
Would they not initially increase in complexity together -interdependently -in tandem?
Would there not be equally-increased distinction between processor and result of process -environment and inhabitant?
Would not a processor developing to the point of understanding -that is, early/simple
memory/comprehension/awareness/self-awareness -necessarily precede any further progress?
Might make this a separate thread....
