Sell replicating factory, had a paradox. The factory will be giving attributes to the product it is making. This is the meaning of making. The number of attributes of the product needs to be less than that of the factory. Therefore theoretically you cannot make a self replicating factory.
But each living cell does it. Therefore architecture of a cell should have something more than atoms that make the cell. This something is replicated from parent to child.
But catalyst of salt crystal helps in depositing more salt molecules.
Also dividing the DNA looks very similar.
A factory needs tools, instructions for the tools and raw materials. Suppose raw material is available at suitable locations. Instructions is just memory though limited, this also can be provided. In a self replicating factory, the tool need to make a copy of itself. Consider a pliers made out of some epoxy that harden with time. Can it make amount pliers from epoxy. But pliers alone will not be able to do it, someone out something had to do it. It is impossible to imagine how it can be done. We will go round and round in circles, but will not be able to find an answer.
A solution struck me.
1. The living cell was somehow created.
2. It has a unique configuration of atoms.
3. It has the capability of copying itself and creating more of itself.
4. All started from a single living cell therefore every cell have that configuration.
5. Some part or parts allow different attributes to be present. But a certain section is uniform to all living cells.
6. It cannot be thought that universe has many different types of living cells. It may be only one, or a few.
7. Humans will never be able to create such a self replicating factory.
8. Humans are a product of cell architecture.
9. Can they make another completely different type of factory that can replicate itself?
10. If it is so by now there should very different type of self replicating factories. But there exists only the living cell!
