DISPROVEN THEORY. "Francesco Redi disproved spontaneous generation for large organisms by showing that maggots arose from meat only when flies laid eggs in the meat. Louis Pasteur ended the debate with his famous swan-neck flask experiment, which allowed air to contact the broth. Microbes present in the dust were not able to navigate the tortuous bends in the neck of the flask." https://lnkd.in/dz3A2JN View in LinkedIn

BRAIN-FK* continued. "Mate the best genomes together using roulette selection, crossover, and mutation to produce a new generation. Repeat the process with the new generation until the target fitness score is achieved." https://lnkd.in/ddNuyJD View in LinkedIn

OLD DOGMA. "Spontaneous generation is the hypothesis that some vital force contained in or given to organic matter can create living organisms from inanimate objects. Spontaneous generation was a widely held belief throughout the middle ages and into the latter half of the 19th century." https://lnkd.in/dz3A2JN View in LinkedIn

BRAIN-FK* GENETIC ALGORITHM: "The AI program works, as follows: A genome consists of an array of doubles. Each gene corresponds to an instruction in the brainf-ck programming language. Start with a population of random genomes. Decode each genome into a resulting program by converting each double into its corresponding instruction and execute the program. Get each program’s fitness score, based upon the output it writes to the console (if any), and rank them." https://lnkd.in/ddNuyJD View in LinkedIn

MICE UNDIES. "To create mice, a recipe called for dirty underwear and wheat grain to be mixed in a bucket and left open outside. In 21 days or less, you would have mice." https://lnkd.in/dz3A2JN View in LinkedIn

INTERMEDIATES. "The bewildering array of structure types resulting from these processes...can be traced to the versatility of the various enzyme systems operating through reactive intermediate carbonations." https://lnkd.in/dEpJBda View in LinkedIn

ACTIONS AND FUNCTIONS. “The actions of natural products in human physiology are often not relevant to their function(s) in the producing organisms." https://lnkd.in/dEpJBda View in LinkedIn

CHUNKING. "Horizontal transfer of genes (that code for biosynthetic pathways) between species occurred and conferred selective advantages to organisms." https://lnkd.in/dEpJBda View in LinkedIn

SIMPLE SIGNALS. "Under the pressure of natural selection, natural products evolved as messages, defined in broad terms, i.e. come hither, don't eat me, germinate, divide, attach, disengage, etc." https://lnkd.in/dEpJBda View in LinkedIn

MOLECULAR ECOLOGY. "The natural products that emerged over time were modified by variants of other enzymes involved in primary metabolism in a gene-for-gene fashion with other biological components of the ecosystem." https://lnkd.in/dEpJBda View in LinkedIn
