On his human life, point, if DNA encoding encompasses all of complex numbers (being that it needs that system in order to be described), isn't it then necessarily <i>more</i> complex, since it requires all of complex numbers plus it's own set of rules and knowledge base as well?

Why does DNA encoding need complex numbers? I'm pretty sure simple integers are enough... Maybe you meant the "complexity of natural numbers" as quoted?
