The first mistake we make when we talk about immortality is that we treat life like a single object with a single failure node. As if there is one door called death, one lock called aging, and one key called biotechnology. But embodied existence is not one thing. It is a stack of interlocking contracts, feedback loops, maintenance schedules, and meaning engines. Biology is just the hardware layer. Being here is the full lease.
