It seems strange that the copy has exactly the same
algorithmic information (Solomonoff, Kolmogorov,
Chaitin complexity) of the original.

That is to say that the size in bits of the (most concise?)
universal computer program to generate the copy is exactly
the same size in bits to (bio)generate the original.

And is the execution time required to generate the copy,
by an (incompressible?) universal computer program,
the same execution time required to (bio)generate
the original?
