Lengthy indeed but thank you for making it.

Gene expression, signaling proteins, and protein synthesis or epigenetics in general are excellent examples both of the duality but some circumstances where the distinction gets fuzzier, particularly depending on the context and perspective you take.

I had not heard of GPCR heteromerization and will be reading more. I ended up going down the complexity and theory path more heavily and assigning my brain into business software so my knowledge of the concrete mechanisms is shallower than I'd like.

I definitely enjoyed thinking about about where to more specifically pin the difference in this context so thank you for being gracious with my making that attempt to offer a formulation. I think there's another interesting question to ask whether the duality divide matters but perhaps another day.

Thank you for the conversation.
