===Rationale===
===Prior work: implementing recombinase switches===
Scaling to larger applications with more states and deeper sequential logics is a future need. Systems whose output depends on input history are necessary for sophisticated computation and information storage. Memory is common in systems that control functions such as development. Memory may confer fitness advantage for synthetic systems that exist and compete in the living world. (reference: Arkin, Ham 2008)
