    nature doesn’t have ECC and checksums but grey goo will. There won’t be mutations any errant goo just gets dealt with, like ants but with perfect implementation.

      Pretty sure nature does have checksums in some places. IIRC, there are some genetic sequences that are surprisingly resistant to mutation upon copying, but the same doesn’t apply to every sequence on account of, I assume, it being expensive in some way.

      I am not sure what to search to find what I think I remember.
