Trying to:
- help enable engineering of biology.
- better understand information flow and loss in replicating machines
Projects:
- open commons of information specifying biological function.
- more responsible people who are working to engineer biology and constructively apply biological technology.
- decomposition of replicating machine design across three characteristic timescales (perform, learn, evolve/persist)
- Barcodes
Meta:
On construction versus creation:
The use of the word "creation" in reference to the living artifacts that we produce via biological engineering is wrong. Creation implies an act that is based on some combination of perfect knowledge, unlimited power, and infinite resources. Gods create. Engineers on the other hand, from structural to electrical to biological, are always constrained by an imperfect understanding of what we are working with, a budget (i.e., finite resources), and limited power. As a result, engineers construct. The art of engineering involves learning how to reliably construct useful artifacts despite our limits.
