===Some ideas from summer 2004=== (brainstorming fodder):
- Information Processing Ideas
- Latch
- Half adder [math]\displaystyle{ \rightarrow }[/math] Full Adder
- Counter
- Other Ideas
- Chemotaxis [math]\displaystyle{ \rightarrow }[/math] patterns
- Intercellular Communication
- Multiple cell types
- possibly with similar machinery, but restricted means of communicating with each other
- similarly, usage of different cell types to allow component reuse
- Color changing
- Coupling function to selection mechanisms
- Encoding in unstable clocks and out mechanisms
- 3D Patterns
- from cells
- from proteins
- Integrate quorum sensing
- Phage interactions [what does this mean?]
- Temperature sensitive latch
- Cellular automata
- Inputs Signals:
- chemicals
- nutrients/food
- antibiotics
- small molecules (e.g., IPTG)
- temperature
- light
- charge
- sound
- magnetic field
- electricity
- gravity
- Output Reporters
- motion
- run away!
- move towards something (i like that? do i like that? i like that?)
- fluoresence/light emission
- death!
- growth
