Physics and chemistry are based on laws. There are no mistakes in physics. Biology, in contrast, is full of errors. "The answers to these questions have profound implications for how we think about life. If things go wrong only when physics becomes biology, biology might truly be irreducible to physics and chemistry, despite centuries of reductionism saying otherwise." https://aeon.co/essays/a-new-theory-suggests-mistakes-are-an-essential-part-of-being-alive

Sounds like a physicist or chemist wrote this.

What exactly are calling "biology" here? To me, it's always been the autonomic processes happening inside a living organism (and nothing more). Defined this way, I've always viewed biology as more or less reducible to chemistry.

"full of errors" and build on "fault tolerance" as a baseline design pattern!

Does a particle finding its resting state = perfection or constant error correction?

Biology is an iterative exploration (thru trial and error) of the physical domain to minimise local entropy.

Biology is made up of diverse components. Really depends on how you define "error." Free will is in the eye of the willer.
