Bio-molecules are network processors. A cell is a collection of molecular network processors. The individual processing is affected by the balance of all the processors in a cell.
Chemistry is a logical process not physical.
Thoughts on the fundamental logic--i.e., the molecular logic--of life, plus other life items (the first are copied from my EStar blog, from 2006 onwards). The foundation of life is the logic of the atom; built on that is the logic of the molecule; built on that is the logic of the cell; built on that is the logic of the organ; built on that is the logic of the organism.
