Yes, you can map and analogize long enough until you reach a point where you find what you perceive to be equivalences.

However, what you've done at that point is rediscover that all these mechanisms are computational and thus at some level equivalent and transformable into each other, just like yoo can implement all of this with just NAND gates.

You have not shown what you claim. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
