Fascinating stuff you are doing. Your first sentence "living organisms are nature's machines" is a dramatic one that caught my interest right off the bat. I am writing a paper to give a better answer to Erwin Schrodinger's question What Is Life? Like you, I came to the conclusion that living organisms are machines. They are not just like machines, they are machines. That is what life is.

Great to hear your Mum is well.

Hamnet has some lessons to help ground these expressions of telos that you simultaneously inspire and deride.

Watch it, and watch it well.

The groan of birth, the gift of mud...there are things in the moss of life that defy automation and are spontaneous to the point, at the point and beyond the point of Wonder.
