Capture relation to chapters 1-6. Initial references Error-preventing codes for DNA Computing . . Complexity should measure how hard it is to optimize in a limited world. . The Bounded Complexity of Molecular Computing . Models of Morphogenesis Self-reproduction and growth are two of the most powerful generating devices in nature.
Growth is yet to be used producxtively to build computers.
Survey efforts in that direction. Von Neumann's and Langton's model of self-reproduction. They require, however, massive computational power not really afforded by conventional electronics. Explore the possibility of implementing evolutionary algorithms in the massive parallelim of DNA molecula processing. 2D gradient gel electrophoresis.
