Word of the day: Architectural Protocell
A protocell is a primordial atomic globule, connected to the environment through the languages of physics and chemistry. Uniquely, protocell technology possesses material complexity, and is capable of self-organization.
Protocells can be made of pre-existing biological materials such as protoplasm — for example, the protoplasm of the green algae Bryopsis and slime mould — or can be fabricated from scratch using organic and inorganic chemicals.
This gives rise to the possibility of Protocell Architecture, as protocell units work together to generate their output.
