Don't underestimate the complexity of chemical computation occurring with microorganisms such as bacteria. The more it's investigated the more underestimated the molecular sophistication seems... Also FYI it's shown that NP-complete problems can be solved with bacterial computers: http://www.jbioleng.org/content/3/1/11/abstract John ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
