==== Cellularity==== | |||
<videoflash type=vimeo>10274649|600</videoflash> | |||
The central idea behind this scenario is that we might one day understand life, not as a hard-edged category, but as a graduated scale between nonliving and living things. Each developmental stage in chemical cell biology is slightly more alive than the stage before. To formalize this idea, I designed a speculative definition of life named the “Cellularity Scale” which shows how five different living properties accumulate at each subsequent stage. Of course, this is a purely speculative definition of life, consistent with the scenario I have designed. If the Chell project or any of the several other bottom-up attempts at abiogenesis are successful, they will quite possibly offer an entirely different picture. | |||

Just found on the c't magazine: [http://antme.net/description.html antme],a software simulating ants which behave according to an artificial intelligence. The AI needs to be coded beforehand. The project is aimed to C# beginners to teach programming. I see some parallels to our bacteria-game: we "code" DNA, it takes place in a closed environment etc. | Just found on the c't magazine: [http://antme.net/description.html antme],a software simulating ants which behave according to an artificial intelligence.

With swimming bacteria on swarm agar plates, you have many options to play around, as their are so many different bacterial strains (swimming slower, faster, not at all, recognizing substances etc.). Take this just as some general comments to think about. In case their is something in that comments, that interests you in particular, please don't hesitate to shoot me an e-mail (d.niopek@gmx.de) or call me (01577-4054784). As I did my bachelor thesis on this topic (swimming bacteria), I would be very happy to provide you with all necessary information and help. | With swimming bacteria on swarm agar plates, you have many options to play around, as their are so many different bacterial strains (swimming slower, faster, not at all, recognizing substances etc.).

"One might almost suspect that there is a symbiosis going on here, between those scientists anxious to maximise the significance of their work, and bioethicists in search of an issue to raise their own profile. After all, if a piece of science is worth worrying about, it must be important. It’s not that I don’t think that these developments have potentially important societal and ethical implications – but it seems to me that these would be better considered from a standpoint that was a little more critical."
