Biochemistry studies the way in which life emerges
from the interaction of inanimate molecules. The author
looks into the possibility that life could emerge from
the interaction of inanimate artificial molecules.
Cellular automata provides one with the logical
universes within which artificial molecules can be
embedded in the form of propagating, virtual automata.
It is suggested that since virtual automata have the
computational capacity to fill many of the functional
roles played by the primary biomolecules, there is a
strong possibility that the 'molecular logic' of life
can be embedded within cellular automata and that,
therefore, artificial life is a distinct possibility
within these highly parallel computer structures. (33
