I really like your argument about protein folding. It's another interest area of reversible computing. That is, we will never be able to create a more powerful computational structure that is itself an implementation of the state of matter itself. It will always be less efficient and require more space or energy to represent than nature can do. That is unless we can find methods or create artificial substances or circumstances that would otherwise be impossible or improbable for nature to create. Man made substances come to mind, that have structures and mechanical properties that far exceed anything found naturally.
