Replication , Sharing , Deletion , Lists , and Numerals : Progress on Universally Programmable Intelligent Matter
نویسنده
چکیده
This report addresses and resolves several issues in the use of combinators for molecular computation. The issues include assumptions about binding sites and linking groups, “capping” of unused sites, replication and sharing of structures in a molecular context, creation of cyclic structures, disassembly of unneeded structures, representation of Boolean values and conditionals, representation of LISP-style lists, and representation of numerals.

Universally Programmable Intelligent Matter Summary
We explain how a small set of molecular building blocks will allow the implementation of “universally programmable intelligent matter,” that is, matter whose structure, properties, and behavior can be programmed, quite literally, at the molecular level.
متن کاملUniversally Programmable Intelligent Matter ( Exploratory Research Proposal ) UPIM Report 1 Technical Report
Intelligent matter is any material in which individual molecules or supra-molecular clusters function as agents to accomplish some purpose. Intelligent matter may be solid, liquid or gaseous, although liquids and membranes are perhaps most typical. Universally programmable intelligent matter (UPIM) is made from a small set of molecular building blocks that are universal in the sense that they c...
متن کاملAccomplishments and New Directions for 2004 : Progress on Universally Programmable Intelligent Matter
We summarize progress to date on “universally programmable intelligence matter” (the use of general-purpose autonomous molecular computation [AMC] for nanostructure synthesis and control), and on this basis discuss directions for future research. Accomplishments include an analysis of extensions to combinatory logic required for nanotechnology and an investigation (through simulation) of the as...

متن کاملA Systematic Approach to Nanotechnology Based on a Small Set of Molecular Building Blocks
A small set of molecular building blocks will allow the implementation of “universally programmable intelligent matter,” that is, matter whose structure, properties, and behavior can be programmed, quite literally, at the molecular level. The approach is based on combinatory logic, a term-rewriting or graphsubstitution system, which can be interpreted as an abstract model of molecular processes...
