"The Circular Economy" https://t.co/OeHxPIGFh9
I asked amazon echo about "Ouroboric Ant Poop Loops".It understandood and addded "boric ant poop loops" to my cart.Behold, The Circular Economy: https://t.co/xHpe0nyTVM
Apropos: this being retweeted:https://t.co/OwedtGbQXA
Endless life?Endless death?Endless?https://t.co/wXEoM0hbXm
What is decay anyway?https://t.co/QQPYwhaOBa
Oscillate.https://t.co/WYXYcma0p2
"Like all living organisms, slime moulds have built-in biochemical oscillators, like the human body clock. In other kinds of slime mould, these oscillators can create periodic ripple patterns in response to environmental stress, helping the organism coordinate its movements."

Ah yes, the two genders; diploid and haploid.https://t.co/S0QEkkUoQI
Go home slimemold, ur drunk.https://t.co/H6Vu2RxEei
"Why slime mold behaves as cats do?"Samehttps://t.co/QdN8yeyxUB
Hypothesis: This study started because someone wanted to see if we could get slimemold drunk.https://t.co/rfirVELFXb
What... is going on here?https://t.co/NbW8MNnCfr
Huh, the images of this paper look like you could engineer this to create fluidic programming models.*actually reads paper*Huh, this paper is actually on the topic of programming slimemold with 'Kalms Sleep'. Whoa.https://t.co/dTI2LE0Dkx
Fluidics as circular economy.https://t.co/giydBxyndh
The idea is here. But I can't find it.https://t.co/btySm4VoHG
Ah, I found it spread between two tweets in my thread of creating artificial life.Lifeforms, climbing mount improbable, {"to compute.", "to escape their poop."}https://t.co/yCVxtkvSyr

If you can't worship with the trumpets of man, what are you even?Matthew 15:12https://t.co/hTdb85oOYy
Tired: Signing bowls to harmonize yourself with surrounding environment.Wired: Signing bowels to harmonize yourself with surrounding environment.Inspired: Culturally appropriating all the religions under a deluded sense of the mimeses of creation.https://t.co/qkYBcaEL6K
Slimemold biomimicry? Another way of asking "How do we optimize farts in worship of the pantheistic godhead?"https://t.co/HGXNvrGfmbBut no one talks about this. Farting is a taboo.https://t.co/aTQQCEZLDS
Farting? The breath of god.https://t.co/uWYC9CtnAL https://t.co/KK4Umun1fy
I am sorry if I am profane. My gods are not happy with me either.https://t.co/keJxJ6ddfj

"Self-replicating machines have been the subject of theoretical discussion since the early days of computing and robotics, but only two physical devices that can replicate have been reported. One uses Lego parts..." [2005]https://t.co/QFMN9ZQSm2
"... headed by Hod Lipson which is studying self-replicating machines and evolutionary robotics. This is one part of a an effort to design self-replicating mechanisms manually, automatically and to physically build the solutions." [2004-2006]https://t.co/wBu1MXNcXa
"Hod Lipson demonstrates a few of his cool little robots, which have the ability to learn, understand themselves and even self-replicate." [2007]https://t.co/A5HmdtrqZg
"It's absolutely conceivable because Technology is inherently self-accelerating. In an ever quickening loop, the power of technology naturally accelerates in speed, magnitude and scope while dropping in cost."https://t.co/JIWW0BAnJu
Self replication? What is a 3D quine?https://t.co/te1D37bvdk
"An emergent locomotion behavior resembling a slime mold was programmed with this material by using an abstract design model similar to mechanical systems."https://t.co/RfFDyC40Dxhttps://t.co/UWTA7DVO38
My favorite Disney movie involves a robot that bends and self-replicates. And another robot that protects us from them.https://t.co/lbDtWlmymR
Self replicating supply chains tho.https://t.co/KCdLoEvrjX
Self replicating agentshttps://t.co/GH3IqgnPP1
Ants are tiny self-replicating roombas powered the crumbs they pick up. The undomesticated kind plant seeds, which act as long term energy harvesting systems that absorb material from the earth/air and generate ATP using the sun.House ants should be treated as friendly daemons. https://t.co/TDuJ0AxTEj

The ultimate self creating quine. https://t.co/bA2XGaSeX4
Quine in here? or is it just me?This is Quine 🔥https://t.co/MmGtsiHr9C

If anyone tells you that biology isn't software, ask them if they've ever thought to model complex cellular regulatory dynamics as a Mechanochemistry fused with fluidic computation theories.https://t.co/qhCAIjYZcM
"TRPV1 becomes rapidly desensitized upon activation, rendering the channel refractory to further stimulation."https://t.co/h779QWLU3e"[anandamide] is a [poor] TRPV1 agonist that behaves as a partial agonist in tissues with a low receptor reserve" https://t.co/HWzKdCGBP2

Hypothetically, if we heat water in the right pattern, we can perhaps make it so that as a jet of air bubbles moves thru it, it manifests a Turing machine. Not entirely a discretely self-similar “fluid computer”, but close enough?https://t.co/XR5YG3WTz5
"[...] Remember that in his time DNA had not yet been discovered as nature's genetic material. The fact that von Neumann's approach was so close to current cell organization is revealing."https://t.co/FspQ6JOL61https://t.co/1yEPCGKrdG
