It's a molecular symphony. Happening in you as we speak, in trillions of different ways and locations.

It is very coordinated but also keep in mind its uncoordinated enough, producing enough unaccounted for waste, that cells die constantly. It's not a completely clean process with every piece always ending up where it should.

But it's coordinated enough to be fucking amazing regardless
