Keep it continuous. You're looking at holographic or specific on tree leaves. I can store a GPS a -lot- easier than words. Force impact from a direction? (Strong A, two Bs.) Record wind. Repose. On idle, broadcast at unique intervals, wait for something to do. (developmental reposition) I suppose you want perception in the medium, but I think a special mechanism is always more efficient. Can you have minispiders hand off instructions by rapid tactile contact? Dock incl. clock sync, dual transmit, undock, work. Sounds like modem (modulator/demodulator) and ATM. The DNA of an organism doesn't change over time, but it manages to perform multi-cellular operations. Each cell has its very own copy, read-only, of the whole's DNA. Can lightning bugs turn on and off instruction sets (exec, donotexec)? Mem. block: 0000 Yes 0 1 add 0001 Yes 0 2 add 0010 No 0 3 add 0011 Yes 0 4 add runs: ( add 1, add 2, add 4 ). Local can transmit modifications to neighbor sames. Local gradient is stronger, which takes us to chemical. There is no living model for bees that sync post-mortem live -- they get orders for the next day "at dance". By the way, Queen bees, Workers and Drones have a developmental period of 16, 21, 24 days respectively. Conclude Workers are the special. Thing is, two adjacent cells in the animal body can vary pretty widely in trait. Stem cells can "differentiate into a diverse range of specialized cell types". Is time a factor in response to mechanistic signal propogation. Make a uniform response to every signal, and you're a functional programmer. input f o output. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
