SURPRISE FINDINGS. "Phylogenetic analyses of asymmetry variation, inheritance, and molecular mechanisms reveal unexpected insights into how development evolves." Especially applied to the symmetry of the heart. https://lnkd.in/dAEUFWY View in LinkedIn

CUE THRESHOLD. "There is a threshold level of inhibition that the cue must exceed to trigger symmetry breaking. This could either be a threshold in the inhibition domain size, the duration of inhibition, or both." https://lnkd.in/dAxynvD View in LinkedIn

LEFT-RIGHT ASYMMETRY. "Because of its simplicity, the binary-switch nature of left-right asymmetry permits meaningful comparisons among many different organisms." https://lnkd.in/dAEUFWY View in LinkedIn

CUES AND NO CUES. "Some symmetry-breaking systems require a polarizing cue. Others can spontaneously break symmetry in the absence of any cues, often by amplifying local stochastic fluctuations in the concentrations of participating molecules. In these cases, polarizing cues “choose” the axis of symmetry breaking." https://lnkd.in/dAxynvD View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE deals with symmetry and symmetry breaking in animal body design. Symmetry is a common theme that threads through biology, physics and chemistry. It seems fundamental to how the universe is configured. In biology, the issue of symmetry starts at the first cell division of the egg, and does not stop thereafter. It seems that symmetry breaking and chirality is embedded in the very geometry of shape. View in LinkedIn

CONTROLLING GENE REGULATORS such as promotors is thought to be better than mutation in biological systems. View in LinkedIn

FLAGS AS REGULATORS. "They do control behavior, but it is possible to usefully distinguish running immutable code with varying behavior due to varying inputs vs. direct mutation of the code." https://lnkd.in/dknBRJD View in LinkedIn

CODING FLAGS. "Variables that are set and changed for the purpose of controlling the behavior of code are commonly called flags. FlagsAreSelfModifyingCode. That is NOT self-modifying code. Flags control which pre-existing code gets run. They do not modify the pre-existing code." https://lnkd.in/dknBRJD View in LinkedIn

SELF-MODIFYING CODE. "Self-modifying Brainfuck, also known as SMBF, is a variant of brainfuck by Simon Howard, which allows a program to modify its own source code." https://lnkd.in/dgayvgB View in LinkedIn

AVATAR VEGETATIVE REPRODUCTION. "As a special case of agents constructing successors with equivalent goals, a machine intelligence may wish to change its own source code—self-improve. This can be viewed as constructing a successor agent that shares most of your program code and runs on the same hardware as you, then replacing yourself with that agent." https://lnkd.in/d37SFab View in LinkedIn
