The reborn SFPI! Our goal is to develop and identify forms of pseudointelligence and life within TPT in the forms of PSTN bots, computing systems, genome emulators, brain architecture simulations, and anything else we (or TPT AIs we find :D) can think of

    The previous generation acts as a sensor, for the following generation. Improving the genetic code. Otherwise, you'd have to make the cell edit its own actual structure and edit its genetic information, whilst also replicating. That means, you then have a gradually growing population of gradually immune cells, that do not die and you end up with overpopulation.

    I might have to allocate more space towards the replication system.

    It also allows the follow generation to have the required genetic updated, as per the enviroment it is in as to allow it to survive longer than the parent cell. It simply repeats this process, until you have cells that are immune to whatever stimulus/stimuli you place in their enviroment, these genetic mutations can be switched off, as per X amount of generations not recieving the stimuli as to allow for cells to simplify their genetic information.

    but i thought we were going for a realistic cell that evolves (and can also act like a cell). It seems you are going for a system that only replicates but where the cells don't actually have any functionality other than reproducing

    The idea is, that is allows the previous generation to die off, combating overpopulation.

    that is, if you don't read the data before any replicating stuff

    That's perfect, Quan.

    but wait, if you do that, then the cell would not do anything during its own lifetime! no adapting or protein synthesis

    I think I'm going to add a NOR gate and DTEC combination to determine when the replicator PSTNs should stop.

    or i'll just make a system that checks if the required amount of energy is met, and then before replication occurs, the data is read and sent to the new cells!
