If there is a 'god equation' it will almost certainly include a+b=c because we use it all the time to describe "diverse biological systems with vast implementation constraints".

This article is lacking originality and insight to such degree that I susupect it is patentable.

I love your hot take, but you forgot the nonlinear transformation which lets the "god equation" represent literally everything.

The post makes a nice point but it's not really surprising that everything can be modeled by an equation capable of universal approximation.

What I don't get is how genetic systems relate to this. They don't hook into it cleanly and the author just jumps right past them even though they're the most fundamental (biological) system of all those described.

Genetic systems code gene regulatory networks. I spent most of the essay on them.

i thought bernoulli's theorem is already the god equation :) . No equation is more fundamental this one from thermodynamics.
