TLDR: by images they mean 96bit mono color light sources. And by store it’s a one way biological street. Stored into DNA sequences that are ripped out and digitally processed and converted. Back I to the og image. So it’s a destructive read.

Figured I’d paraphrase the paraphrase and just give the quick and dirty.
