You're talking about bio-mimetic systems that wouldn't arise for a generation, he was talking about "the discrete world of computing". There's no context there to resist.
We built large statistical systems out of the "discrete world" components. Different regimes, if you will.
The fascinating thing is that chemical/biological systems evolved discrete interactions (e.g. nervous systems that can be deranged by, say, a few micrograms of LSD.)

Also, Cloudstrike/Clownstrike: small change, large effect?
