And the data does not reproduce itself either.

A genome does not reproduce itself!

It is part of reproduction. But the data in the computer system of a
car is in no way analogous to the genome.

The genome = data.

Not really, no. It contains information needed to reproduce but it is not
data itself.

The map = data.

In some ways, maybe.


The genome is reproduced, & modefied!

It is reproduced, but modified by accident, and if the modifications
are helpful they are passed on to other organisms.

The map is reproduced & modefied!

The map may be recreated and/or modified, but not by accident. By design.
But it is not passed on to other computers, nor are any computers
generated by the computer containing the map.
Big difference.
Nor does the map have anything at all to do with producing any other
computers. It only serves to keep the car running.




The data is "reproduced". It is "reproduced" by machinery read-write
head, etc.
The genome is "reproduced". It is "reproduced by machinery, helicase
starts the process etc.

Not even close. In a cpu in a car there is no read write head,

So how is the data read or written?

There is no head because there is no hard drive. I suggest you learn
about computers before you stick your foot any further in your mouth.


the data is not copied, nor is it reproduced.

Wrong again. How little you know.

Too late. The data is not copied nor reproduced, as it comes from the
sensors, which is what you were talking about, until right above. You
have mentioned the map before, as a way to control the engine, but now
you are changing your arguement to claim that the map is the data that
you were talking about. And that is blatantly false. You were talking
about the data from the sensors being reproduced.
As I pointed out, it is not reproduced. It is generated for the measurement
being taken at the moment. It may, or may not, be identical to the bits
generated before it, but that does not matter at all. Only the cpu will
care about that when it sees a change that it must manage.
But it is not being reproduced, in any real sense.



The genome is not copied by a read write head either.

Never said it was. The analogy was they both require machinery for the
copying process!

Except that it is a very strange definition of machinery, and a strange
comparison. The data in a computer, when it is being copied, is being
copied by software and being written to disk by some form of electronic
machinery.
The dna strands are being created out of cell material, not being written
to.




They are the same principles!

Let's see, data in a car is generated by sensors, a genome in an
organism is generated by the cell copying itself,

Woo, woo woo. Who said cell?

Well, the dna, that composes the genome, is part and parcel of a cell.
And the dna strands are generated by cells.


Genome is generated by chance chemistry! "Sensitive" (sensors)
to their enviroment.

Um, no, unless you mean the interior of a cell.


each bit of data is unique to itself and has no realtionship to
the previous bit or the next bit.

Wrong, the data "map" is copied. Many function's are performed
and the new map is "written" as a "modefied copy" of the old map!

Except that you were talking about the data from the sensors. Not the
little magnetic ones and zeros that make the map program. Not even a
nice try.



The dna in a cell is basically identical to the dna in the cells around
it,

No, there are mutations in every copy! But so what!

And a mutation is actually a very minor change to the dna strands. The
dna is so close when it is generated that direct relationships can be
observed from it.


and has a major relationship with those cells. Data is produced by
electrical means dna by biological means.

DNA = Data!

Nope, dna does not equal data, dna contains bits of information, so that
is not really valid to say so.



Data is used by the cpu to monitor how the engine
operates,

Hmm, a previous poster said "programs are not data"!

And your point is? Programs are not data. The computer, running
a program, monitors the data that is generated by the sensors
to determine what is the best settings to make the engine run
properly.
A program uses data, and it may be written to the memory as data,
but a program is more than just the data that makes it up.


So you agree with me. Kool.

Not hardly, you are wrong about everything.



dna is the basic building block of cells. Yeah, lots of
similarities.

1's & 0's are the building blocks of the map.

Only in binary language. There is no law that a map has to be
built out of bits. It could be built, and written to the memory,
in analog. It is just a lot harder to do so.


You are right! QUOTE; "Yeah, lots of similarities".

Not.


Out by a factor of 2!

For you, you are 0 for infinity.
