How about there are _no_ "fundamental" computational units -- these are (useful!) abstractions to help us deal with the computational density of biological matter, which operates across scales. Occasionally, but not always, dynamics from a finer scale unit matter a lot to a courser one.

This bring me back to one of my favorite anecdotes.
In the early 1980s, a chemical physicist submitted a proposal to NIH that was assigned to NIGMS.
It received a fairly poor score (~60th percentile).
7/13
