Self-Assembly Gets Automated in Reverse of 'Game of Life' (quantamagazine.org)

This is just decontextualized science as engineering. Levin as well. Logic demands simple rules, objectivity that was always derived from subjectivity. That's how engineering infects interdependent biology for independent, individual hacks. Beware. We didn't learn rules, really, we spotted regularities and convinced ourselves these were rules. Hack life and develop automata and watch the pain begin. And it will come from chaos.
