Ribosomes as Natural Self-Replicating Machines: Recursive Production Existed Long Ago
deanwball · x · 2026-08-09
The author draws a deep biological analogy regarding recursive self-improvement: ribosomes synthesize the very ribosomal proteins that constitute ribosomes. This means a ribosome is a factory made out of the thing it manufactures. The author suggests that recursive self-production, and perhaps self-improvement, has been underway for a very long time in nature.
