And so on. I assume the idea is less to build an adder and an ALU ( :-) ) and more to build behaviour on environmental input. There is a video under the "demo" tab. Edit: Under the "Publications" you find an abstract and a good explanation. Read that instead of my copy/pasting. :-) Their basic point is "This approach leads to highly repetitive and modular genetics, in stark contrast to the encoding of natural regulatory networks"

dang, if you happen see this, why is user berntb shadow-banned? I see some political opinions that I happen to disagree with in his history, but nothing in the past ~20 pages of his comments worthy of shadow-banning. In fact, I see some high-value comments of a technical nature, such as this post. Assuming my interpretation of this situation is reasonable, could you please consider his account for un-shadow-banning?

  Thanks for that. I think there are two possible reasons: 1. I don't think the moderators agree with me either. :-) 2. My mood is not good when I have allergy problems which makes me easily trolled. Edit: OK, there is a third reason. They are vim users and so have no sense of humour. :-) (For the record: Some people I really admire are vim users; I have even seen some really cool guys connect their computers for holding a presentation I look forward to -- and realized they use Windows! Don't generalize.)
