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.

And you are ignoring my first post that said it’s just atoms moving and bonding. “Living” is only a chemical process. I believe it was Robert Hook who when looking at a living cell under the first microscope powerful enough, commented on his disappointment that “cells were just machinery”
Yes their simulation failed because somehow there computers aren’t any faster than today’s computers.
The writers knew it didn’t make any sense which is why they lampshaded it-
Stamets: “At the quantum level, there is no difference between biology and physics. No difference at all.”
