464 ;;Quote: system can not at the same time be programmable, efficient, and amenable to evolution
464 ;;Quote: biological systems must exchange programmability for efficiency and adaptability; product of evolution
465 ;;Quote: either the Turing-Church thesis implies that all physically realizable processes can be duplicated by computers or it does not limit physical processes
470 ;;Quote: a randomly altered program rarely serves a useful function; unsuited to evolution
