I posted a reply to this earlier, but for some reason it didn't take. The short version though, is that the contradiction I see between you statement and evidence is 'purpose'. Whether you want to call it instinct, behavioral Darwinism, genetic memory, or anything else, there is little denying that each and every organism has a distinct purpose. Virus's help manipulate DNA. Algae provide a food source, remove toxic gases other noxious things from the environment, even carbon monoxide. Even every element serves a purpose such as a necessary medium for some elemental force, as Iron, or as a vital component of nutrition such as zinc. What possible entertainment could a UI get from the bodies absorption of Zinc? All of these little details scream 'purpose'. And, as you are trying to use your observations to try and understand the personality of a possible UI, I would think 'purpose' would be pretty high on your list.
