“Living” is a chemical process. Since Stamets was able to transfer the DNA into himself, he had identified the segments that coded the particular proteins.

Proteins that could not be adequately replicated by a computer while also being accepted by the network. Again. This was literally in the show.

Yeah, but that requires a strange alternate future where computers are simultaneously both faster than today’s computers and also not any faster.
And yes the simulation needs a compatible physical interface.

I’m not sure why you’re ignoring what I’m saying.
The speed of the computers is irrelevant. The network required a living organic link. Simulations, while being fast enough, we’re rejected by the network.
Simulations did not work. I have no idea why you’re so hung up on this when they did it and it failed repeatedly. Hell, it even failed with 32c tech. A living link was still required in forcing Stamets to jump the ship or having Book do it.
