But how can we do that?
Actions can only be performed once the actual DNA has been passed through an interpretter. That has been the gist of my entire point here (and elsewhere) :banghead:
The Interpretter is the entire core of the program. without it the DNA cannot have any effect on the simulation or vice versa.
Ulciscor:
The problem you are describing has apparently gone right over my head; I just don't see one at all. Sure it will take a while to list all commands, assign them codes and group them together, but that's doable. :blink: Isn't it?
Numsgil:
I would like to point out that while there are a finite number of amino acids used, the length of proteins constructed from these amino acids are thousands of amino acids long.
That may even be a conservative estimate.
And then there are the actual simulation problems, specifically that modelling chemical reactions realistically is really a simulation in and of itself.
So trying to get the DNA to actually cause physical changes beased on purely chemical motive forces is a bit unrealistic with the processing power available.
If that's what this thread is really about and I haven't wasted the last 10 minutes of my life reading it ;)
Ulciscor:
Aha but I cleverly never mentioned chemicals merely substances. And a limited number of them at that.
In my head I imaginined there being more 'clumpy' substances like soil, air etc... it might be stupid but it would mean you wouldnt need to calculate chemical processes. You could simply state the rules of interaction instead of having to calculate them.
Griz:
--- Quote ---But the difference from Ulciscor and PY thought is:
I understand perfectly what Ulciscor is saying, while you PY have been vague in describing your ideas (no offense).
And--->
ULCISCOR that is exctractly what I am thinking!!!!!!!!!
Ulciscor's ideas = PY's ideas = Greven's ideas => PERFECT
It seems we all see it the same way, but have explain them differently, and we therefore have misunderstood each other.
Ulciscor, you have the power of the written text, or what ever I should call it! Thank you!

just found and began reading this thread.
so just to say ...
so far ... I am in total agreement with these ideas.
this, imo, is what is needed to 'begin'.
