From Lazer

StarCat could be used for a cell simulation to preform. The program could simulate the process of DNA to RNA translation and work the RNA preforms. The DNA would be equivalent to the code rack. The RNA would be equivalent to the Codelets. The Workspace would be the cytoplasm (where the RNA performs work ). One example of a run of the system would be placing a piece of food in the cytoplasm and letting the system run. The system should create RNA (catalysts) to perform the break down of the food to usable parts.

Future Work

Link this system up with the Human Genome Project to bring in the entire DNA sequence for full simulations. This system could be used to test virus affects to the DNA and the body.

The DNA could be modeled with the ability to be modified (reversed transcription)

Implementation

The DNA could be represented by an XML file that is read in from a file. Therefore it could be easily transfered to other process over the internet or just loaded in.

Ideas

• The whole system could be serialized and transfered to other systems through just the Code Rack (DNA) XML.
• This system could be used to create a dynamic system on a computer.
