LANGUAGE OF MATERIALS. "We believe it's now possible to program nearly every material to change shape and properties," says Skylar Tibbits, director of MIT’s Self-Assembly Laboratory. "Code", he says, will become the "language of materials" in the same way it is the language of machines today." https://lnkd.in/d6YRRJH View in LinkedIn

PARALLEL to artificial life investigations, in silico artificial chemistry has opened up a new world of possibilities of looking at molecular evolution and the origin of life. Provocative and interesting. View in LinkedIn

MARK BEDAU set a number of challenges to the emerging artificial life community. These included: "Generate a molecular proto-organism in vitro. Achieve the transition to life in an artificial chemistry in silico. Determine whether fundamentally novel living organizations can exist?" https://lnkd.in/dsMZPii View in LinkedIn

BEDAU CHALLENGES. "Demonstrate the emergence of intelligence and mind in an artificial living system." https://lnkd.in/dsMZPii View in LinkedIn

BEDAU CHALLENGES. "Evaluate the influence of machines on the next major evolutionary transition of life." https://lnkd.in/dsMZPii View in LinkedIn

BEDAU CHALLENGES. "Provide a quantitative model of the interplay between cultural and biological evolution." https://lnkd.in/dsMZPii View in LinkedIn

BEDAU'S GAUNTLET. "Demonstrate an Artificial Chemistry in Which the Transition to Life Occurs in Silico. Few questions concerning living systems are as fundamental as the spontaneous generation of life, and a constructive context in which to explore this issue is artificial chemistry." https://lnkd.in/dsMZPii View in LinkedIn

"ARTIFICIAL CHEMISTRIES are computer-based model systems composed of objects (abstractions of molecules), which are generated by collision between existing objects according to a predefined interaction law. The collisions may be purely random or allow the buildup of spatial correlations, as in diffusion systems. Bimolecular chemistry is assumed to be sufficient to display the transition to life, but this may involve complex structures." https://lnkd.in/dsMZPii View in LinkedIn
