چکیده
In this paper we explore the topological properties of self-replicating, 3-dimensional manifolds, which are modeled by idempotents in (2+1)-cobordism category. We give a classification theorem for all such idempotents. Additionally, characterize biologically interesting ways self-replicating 3-manifolds can embed R3.

Self-mapping Degrees of 3-Manifolds
Each closed oriented 3-manifold M is associated with a set of integers D(M), the degrees of all self-maps on M . In this paper D(M) is given for each 3-manifold in Thurston’s picture.
متن کاملMinimal self-replicating systems.
Minimal self-replicating systems typically consist of three components: a product molecule, and two substrate molecules that become joined to form another product molecule. An important characteristic of self-replicating systems is the ability of the product to catalyze the formation of additional product, resulting in autocatalytic behavior. Recent advances in the area of self-replication have...
متن کاملSimulating Self-replicating Machines
A simulation framework is described in which sliding tiles moving in a discrete two-dimensional grid can be put together to build machines. The tiles can perform logical and mechanical functions, and can be connected to each other. A self-replicating machine has been designed in this environment and its operation is summarised. Observations are made about the usefulness and the limitations of t...
متن کاملMinimal self-replicating systems
Examples of chemical systems capable of templating and catalysing their own synthesis—self-replicating systems— have begun to appear in the chemical literature over the last 15 years. For the biologist, these systems represent a link with the origin of life—their study can shed light on prebiotic chemical evolution. However, for the synthetic chemist, they represent the ultimate synthetic machi...
متن کاملSelf-replicating Cellular Automata
Abstract In this paper, we present a possible implementation of arithmetic functions (notably, addition and multiplication) using self-replicating cellular automata. The operations are performed by storing a dedicated program (sequence of states) on self-replicating loops, and letting the loops retrieve the operands, exchange data among themselves, and perform the calculations according to a se...
