I think the iphone would have a much lower assembly number than a person. She mentions an objects assembly number is defined by the minimal possible number of steps to create it, not just how we came up with the object in a particular case, so I don’t think you add the biological entities assembly number to it? An iphone would be a much smaller assembly number compared to humans if so.

The copy number is an important aspect as well that maybe I haven’t gotten to fully reading yet. I would guess the iphones copy number is also quite low in comparison to the number of DNA based lifeforms that have ever existed.

Some combination of copy and assembly number give you a point in life-object space if i am reading correctly so far.
