No, I'm not saying that. Yes, there is extra-genomic information. I'm sure that the increase in intelligence happens because more-complex creatures can extract more information from the environment. But that is an output, not an input, in my analysis; it goes into "intelligence", not into "information input". I am asking what function translates genomic information (plus epigenetic information) into "intelligence", or an organism's ability to solve problems.
"Almost all of the information content of an organism resides in the amino-acid sequence of its domains" seems simply wrong to me. Whatever the intended point was, it needs rephrasing.
Rephrased.
