May the electronic implementations be realized as groups of interacting mechanical devices (“swarm” robotics)?
Yes, but the proposers should take care to meet the requirements for the numbers of “basic units” or “seeds” required in the metrics. Also, the implementations must evolve thermodynamically so the systems and environments proposed must be able to “translate” thermodynamic variation and selection to the physical scale of the implementation. Q: May we bypass the need for implementation in hardware by using computer simulations exclusively? A: No. Q: What other “similarly complex applications” are appropriate for the chemical implementations? A: Ideally, the chemical implementations will be able to sustain “functions” or “behaviors” that only are only associated with living (e.g. cellular) systems today. Q: What complexity of implementation is necessary in the final phase of the program? A: The final implementation should be a practical demonstration of physical intelligence that is sufficiently compelling to an educated non-expert that he/she can easily recognize its significance. Q: Is
