How Would Autonomous Nano Code Generators Work?
A nano code generator generates a small fragment of code. For example, you might have a single generator that simply generates a conditional test. An autonomous, nano code generator would contain both the metacode for generating the desired output and the logic for deciding whether the code should be generated. Nano code generators could write small, whole fragments based on simple logical conditions: If A then B, where the predicate condition A must exist before the code B is emitted. Then, in successively larger and more complex aggregate relationships, molecular assemblers could be designed. These assemblers could collaborate as temporal, cohesive smart mobs to solve algorithmic problems or be composited further to solve problems of increasing complexity and scale. For this to work, generators would have to be created from generatively larger and more complex rules of collaboration and orchestration.
