Complexity definitions Complexity & Entropy/Information Why Model? Which models will we search, merge & check in this course? Intro 1: Today's story, logic  & goals Elements  Minimal self-replicating units  Self-replication of complementary nucleotide-based oligomers Why Perl & Mathmatica?  Facts of Life   101 Conceptual connections Transistors > inverters > registers > binary adders > compilers > application programs Self-compiling & self-assembling Minimal Life: Self-assembly, Catalysis, Replication, Mutation, Selection Replicator diversity  Maximal Life:  Rorschach Test Growth & decay What limits exponential growth?  Solving differential equations (Hyper)exponential growth Computational power of neural systems Post-exponential growth & chaos Intro 1: Today's story, logic  & goals Inherited Mutations & Graphs Directed Graphs System models      Feature attractions Intro 1: Today's story, logic  & goals Bionano-machines Types of Systems Interaction Models How to do single DNA molecule manipulations? One DNA molecule per cell Most RNAs  < 1 molecule per cell.     Mean, variance, & linear correlation coefficient Mutations happen Binomial frequency distribution as a function of X Î {int  0 ... n} Poisson  frequency distribution as a function of X  Î {int 0  ...¥} Normal  frequency distribution as a function of X Î {-¥... ¥} One DNA molecule per cell What are random numbers good for?  Where do random numbers come from? Where do random numbers come from really?  Mutations happen Intro 1: Summary PPT Slide |
