> There's a huge gap between the fundamental units of biology (biochemistry) and the resulting emergent behaviour (living things).

And then a very similar gap between the fundamental units of one small branch of biology, ecology, where the fundamental units are living things and the emergent behavior is everything you see outside your window! We have a lot of math that explains how things act and evolve together and it's all just the tiniest little smidge of what actually happens.
