Complex Self-reproducing Systems
Cellular automata and L-Systems are well-known formal models to describe the behaviour of biological processes. They are discrete dynamical systems, each of which can have complex and varied behaviour. Here, we study a class of substitutive systems incorporating properties of both cellular automata and L-systems, that exhibits self-reproducing behaviour. A one-dimensional array of cells is cons...
متن کاملAn Implementation of von Neumann's Self-Reproducing Machine
This article describes in detail an implementation of John von Neumann's self-reproducing machine. Self-reproduction is achieved as a special case of construction by a universal constructor. The theoretical proof of the existence of such machines was given by John von Neumann in the early 1950s [6], but was first implemented in 1994, by the author in collaboration with R. Nobili. Our implementa...
متن کاملOptimal Seeding of a Class of Self-Reproducing Systems
This paper is motivated by the need to minimize the payload mass required to establish an extraterrestrial robotic colony. One approach for this minimization is to deploy a colony consisting of individual robots capable of self-reproducing. An important consideration for the establishment of such a colony is the identification of a seed. Since self-reproduction is achieved by the actions of a r...
متن کاملSelf-reproducing catalyst drives repeated phospholipid synthesis and membrane growth.
Cell membranes are dynamic structures found in all living organisms. There have been numerous constructs that model phospholipid membranes. However, unlike natural membranes, these biomimetic systems cannot sustain growth owing to an inability to replenish phospholipid-synthesizing catalysts. Here we report on the design and synthesis of artificial membranes embedded with synthetic, self-reprod...
متن کاملStochastic simulations of minimal self-reproducing cellular systems.
This paper is a theoretical attempt to gain insight into the problem of how self-assembling vesicles (closed bilayer structures) could progressively turn into minimal self-producing and self-reproducing cells, i.e. into interesting candidates for (proto)biological systems. With this aim, we make use of a recently developed object-oriented platform to carry out stochastic simulations of chemical...
