#logical systems

Few scientists acquainted with the chemistry of biological systems at the molecular level can avoid being inspired. ↗

Biological engineering is not necessarily understanding systems but rather, I want to be able to design and build biological systems to perform particular applications. ↗

In my case, I used the elements of these simple forms - square, cube, line and color - to produce logical systems. Most of these systems were finite; that is, they were complete using all possible variations. This kept them simple. ↗

But the prospects of designing chemical plants for industrial scale chemical processes seemed far less interesting than the chemical events that occur in biological systems. ↗

That inefficiency is masked because growth and progress are measured in money, and money does not give us information about ecological systems, it only gives information about financial systems. ↗

I had been impressed by the fact that biological systems were based on molecular machines and that we were learning to design and build these sorts of things. ↗
