The Project

How does agency first appear at the level of molecular chemistry? This question is inspired by the Evolution 2.0, $10M, Technology Prize Challenge  wherein this question appears. This project will not be an entry into that challenge, since the required solution must be in the form of a synthesizable chemical pathway. But the underlying question of agency is worth pursuing in its own right. A tentative project outline…
