#2I voted up although I think it is probably a dupe since I posted the same thing 6 days ago and then there was some discussion about the findings in another article maybe 3-4 days ago where I put the link.

mine had no discussion, there was a discussion on the subject some days later and I added a link to my post in it as being a link to the paper under discussion - got some upvotes - but I haven't been able to find it in my posts after going back a ways.

#6>In contrast, a non–growth-based form of self-replication dominates at the subcellular level: molecular machines assemble material in their external environment into functional self-copies directly, or in concert with other machines. Such kinematic replication has never been observed at higher levels of biological organization, nor was it known whether multicellular systems were even capable of it.
I can't tell if this is computer science, physics or biology. Artificial life?

Always has been the same.

Alan Turing was also a biologist. John von Neumann was deeply interested in biology. The fields have always been deeply connected as both ultimately study information processes.
