That is, the novel contains the parchments, but the parchments are the novel. The novel contains a replica of itself within itself, and this system includes a point of convergence (the moment when Aureliano Babilonia is reading about himself reading that he is reading, etc.). The author – García Márquez – puts into place a self-replicating mechanism – a self-lengthening chain of embedded narratives."

"The very notion that automata would make automata! Not only is the suggestion insulting, it seems ripe for calamity. What of that ballad, the one where the broomsticks carry water buckets and run amuck?"

In the last sentence of the 1953 paper, they noted: “It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing [of DNA] we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material.” (page 189) jeanfr7 https://padlet.com/jeanfr7/ycuu648sg8n0coir/wish/1832913757 2021-10-21 08:47:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jeanfr7/ycuu648sg8n0coir/wish/1832913757 jeanfr7 https://padlet.com/jeanfr7/ycuu648sg8n0coir/wish/1832925286 2021-10-21 08:54:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jeanfr7/ycuu648sg8n0coir/wish/1832925286
