ITEM#411P969. The upper section of the rear of the pod provides one of several ideal
matches between surfaces. In a sitting position (on the knees), raise the right leg, until the
bottom of the right foot is flat on the floor (or the foam). Both left and right arms may be
used as balancing points by placing them out to the side, so that the hands touch the side
walls. Shifting the weight to the right leg, keeping the back hunched over, so as not to
injure the head, and slowly raise the body until both feet are on the floor. Since it is
impossible to stand straight up inside the pod, it will be necessary to maintain a slightly
hunched-over posture, while possibly bending the legs at the knees as well. Moving to the
rear of the pod, turn the body around so that it faces the front (or the glass C60 portal).
Slowly place the palms of both hands against the rear wall of the pod. Shifting the weight
backwards, gradually release the tension in the arms and hands until the lower back
touches the upper rear wall and ceiling. Keeping a hunched-over posture, the curvature of
the back and shoulders will negatively match the curvature of the upper rear wall and
ceiling.

exist in a puzzling state; they experience two equally plausible but
incommensurate environments. They actually live the aporia. With BmTP-

embodiment. It is, perhaps, the point at which seeing and remembering
perfectly overlap. 3) Complex anomalies, serious in their proteomic relation

them unoccupied. It was still early, however, and some of them would soon be reserved, if
they were not already. The corridor was dimly lit from above, and accompanied by pin-

when the MIML-patient, ill-prepared, is taken by a sudden fear in a
somnambulistic network of symbols. "Proteomic-based Coordination in
Polygon Tracking II: Comparing Model with Induced Human Immuno-

and disk cache to improve performance and reduce network traffic. When a
packet (using either Krebs-v4 or ChemArray protocols) is transmitted from
the network, information is stored in both areas of the of cortical region.
Always already caught up in the signifying chain by which our difference is
negotiated, the anatomical (“Carefully watched for a reason”) is never given
outside its terms, and yet it is also that which exceeds and compels that
internal portion of your muscles, consisting principally of those fibres which
arise from the ischium's MicroStation, forming a dense clustered mass
SEQRES 2 42 ILE ARG GLY ARG GLU ARG PHE consisting of
bundled 32-Gigabit MEMS processing which descend almost vertically, and
terminate around an insistent and inexhaustible demand. The IrDA pads in
turn retrieve a cluster of packets from the memory cache more quickly than
from the BmTP system’s cache, though retrieving from the system’s cache
is still faster than downloading from the network. You recall the day's
languid chants when desperate cats invade our skulls, as a delineation of
molecular binding principles. Ever since the first patients were identified
clinically, one of the most striking characteristics of MIML-based disorders
is the readiness of patients to accept their own condition.

MIML-patients, flexion decreases the angle, usually between anterior
surfaces of articulating bones with exceptions on posterior angles of some
CT-based movement data. Arch-shaped process wrapping around extensor

a digital computer by a pattern of coded electrical pulses. But in the memory
of BmTP systems, these pulses may synthesize patterns of molecular
binding within and on the component parts (Epimysium, Perimysium, or
Endomysium), or they may utilize transcriptase enzyme to re-digitize the
component part itself (Myofibril Sarcomeres). With the final current flow
the images bulged, muscles worked in spasms and the abdomen arched
away from the diaphraneous table and began to calmly, methodically, heave,
and in spite of it I also felt my own abdominal muscles contracting.

recollection process ensues, the sensors feed data about those processes
into a BmTP computer. I understood the sullen question in your voice.

rehearsed and perfected in a clinical setting, on MIML-based models with
refined biochemical details - down to the finest capillaries - based on each
flesh-and-blood patient's topographic scans. Both the medical literature and
the technical manuals related to BmTP systems postulate a semi-public
space where nothing matters but the force of projectiles, the compulsive
pushing and pulling of molecules. You put the aorta on the floor and

the cortex. You left your body where it was, but took a step backward in

Pausing for a while – almost meditating – on a particular curved surface on the pod’s left-

chairs, mobile phones, subway stations, and people. There was a sudden urge to crack
open the pod’s wall (would it crack? or would it simply change shape?), not out of some
urge to escape, but to peer inside the inside of the pod. Silent and preoccupied, luh+ leaned
back against the side wall, one bare foot up on the ledge encasing the network interface.
Just below the right side of luh+’s ribcage there was a soft, radiating blemish just beneath
the skin, resembling a blood clot. It nearly matched the marks on the sides of luh+’s
temples, were it not for the slight difference in size. Glancing at the time on the screen, the
quiet numbers indicated that over twelve hours had gone by; twelve hours that had been
passed under BmTP media, nowhere else but here, and on the network. Over time, the

SUMMARY: “A blindness that touches perfection.” In this paper cortical
feature function detection and tracking are discussed, using methods
derived from pervious studies of MIML-related characteristics such as
counting and deformable circular template matching. Subsequently, by using
a deformable circular template matching two neurochemical pathways,
positions of each are measured through phantasmagoria of the un-
elucidated darkness around the eyes, before the eyes, as the predecessor of
the energy and equilibrium problem. Key Words – MIML-based topology,
mnemonic feature detection, aphasic feature tracking, molecular pathway detection,
deformable template matching. The first engravings, recognizable by their
reddish tone, which you had bought long ago at ransom prices, put me in a
good humour again; and I forgot everything else as I followed the strange

little to do with memory loss. Rather, it involves the generation of memory

This new curve may intersect itself any number of times. In general,
however, it will statistically partition the planar region in two, resulting in
the appearance of two, distinct recollections. Let us consider the model (Eq.
4.17) traced in the direction in which any standard BmTP-based component
(Eq. 4.11) goes from an exterior point to a self-observing one (Fig. 1.2).
Perhaps the most intriguing possibilities for treating MIML-related
disorders lie in attempts to manufacture new biomaterials and tissues from
scratch. For days on end, I remained sitting in the library or in another,
anonymous room, accompanied by your silent, warm shadow. I was aware
that there was an unease in the air, and that my state of mindless suspension
could not go on forever. The first led us to the rudiments of a theory of
informational echolalia, the latter to a certain possible understanding of
cognitively-displaced fibrillation. Obviously it was up to me to break the
stalemate, but I resisted the very idea of any kind of change: I was incapable
of making the most trivial decision. "Histological and Mechanical
Charcterization of an Experimental Model Joint Replacement during
Supramaximal Isokinetic Muscle Contraction." As a diagnostic tool, routers
such as the ChemArray suite are, for their part, helpful in understanding
how biochemical pathways are transmitted throughout the human body:
since regular meshes dissipate their energy too rapidly to be of any
metabolic use, coherent, patterned pulses that maintain their dispersal could,
in effect, explain how energy produced in one part of the body fuels
metabolic processes in another, distant part. The idea is to take individual
cells from a tissue and seed them in a fine mesh of soluble material, then
incubate them until they multiply and connect up. Several systematic
programs of instruction, known as koros, exist for studying the corporeal
impact of MIML, organizing the information it presents and correlating it
with simulated in vivo models. “But hurts just like anything else.” The

ITEM#814M974. As the intention of the pod is to accommodate any guest, there are a
number of features and services which each provides, though these often vary, depending on
the bandwidth regulation in a given area of the city. The earliest pod domains contained
the standard video monitor, Internet connection, MiniDV, a mini bar, and a simple, off-
white futon with clean sheets and blankets. In addition to this, current pods also contain a
rate-scaled set of services which make available the latest in high-tech entertainment,
gaming, and communications services. These can range from network access (including
Internet2x for built-in computers, or wireless services for wearable devices), to popular
social networks such as MediaMeet. Each pod is also supplied with all the necessary
hardware, software, and extensibles for accessing any of these services. Since most pod
domain buildings are unstaffed, individuals interested in visiting pods must purchase
session hours online. At that time the proper fees, contact information, and session ID
numbers are downloaded onto a credit card or universal credit chip. The data on this card
provides the customer with access to the pod domain building itself, as well as the floor on
which the assigned pod is located. Most buildings contain washrooms and a main-floor
reception or lounge area that is open to all customers. Selected pod domain buildings, such
as those in Seoul or Metro Bohol, also contain floors with restaurants, special interest
nightclubs, shopping corridors, and health care facilities.

most modern of ectoplasms: electrons and photons that flitted silently
across a cloud elongated by trepid stellar jewels. An examination of the
already-existing worlds produced by MIML-like symptoms suggests a
negative answer to this question. Consider the technique called "cognitive
distancing" or "level of oblique detail," which for years has been used in
medical simulations and is now being adapted to more sophisticated
biochemical models as well as traditional BmTP environments: "These
recollections are like orifices that multiply over our two bodies causing my
skin and your skin to undulate and burst alike." The idea is to render the
models more crudely when the MIML patient is moving through their
specific mnemonic space; when the patient stops, detail gradually fills in.

Affective networking technologies present us with a technical apparatus – the in vivo

BmTP systems, including the AB Lethewards/406 series. This code helps
offset the disadvantages of long strings of binary bits in a hologrammatic
code representation of large numbers. For example, several dances have an
accumulative structure: a motion or gesture is introduced, followed by a
selected array of other motions or gestures; then you repeat, as exactly as

Description
Biomolecular Transport Protocol (BmTP) systems are growing in
popularity nationwide. Their applications have also grown, from their
original use in communications and entertainment systems (derived from
the earlier example set by MMORPGs), to the more recent interest in the
biomedical and biopsychiatric implementation of BmTP systems as both
diagnostics and therapeutic tools.1-3 But these applications have not come
about with serious drawbacks. According to surveys conducted by the
NIH, over 100,000 patients in the New York-metropol region alone
suffer from neuro-cognitive and psychoplasmic disaggregation as a result
of over-exposure to BmTP systems, and another 15,000 patients have
suffered partial organ or tissue failures.4 Each year over $400 billion is
spent in the U.S. on patients suffering from the medical side-effects of
BmTP technologies.5 This has necessitated the development new
regenerative medicine treatments for such patients. In most cases demand
far outweighs supply. When tissue-matched organs are available, such
procedures amount to approximately 8 million surgical procedures per
year involving organ or tissue transplantation.6 Techniques for such
procedures include organ transplantation (both human-to-human and
animal-to-human) and medical engineering (both prosthetic devices and
mechanical organs). The limitations of the former include
immunorejection of allografted or implanted tissue, and limitations of the
latter include incompatibilities with mechanical systems in vivo.7-9
We propose that the targeted engineering of biotic components
such as human stem cells may provide an efficient means of resolving
difficulties surrounding organ and tissue loss. Furthermore, research in
this area, integrated into current BmTP technical standards, offers the real
possibility of designing and implementing higher-order in vivo immune
systems to handle the specific biochemical and biomolecular loads that
BmTP systems demand.10,11 The opportunity for stem cell engineering
follows upon recent work in tissue engineering, organ-plotting, and
regenerative medicine.12-15 Research in bioartificial skin grafts,
chondrocytes, and simple tissue engineered organs has fared well in
clinical trials as well as in national review by the Federal
Communications Commission.16 The establishment of a systematic
approach to cytological engineering of stem cells will advance this
possibility of preventive BmTP-compatible, meta-immune systems. It
will also provide for a direct means of directing stem cell development
across separate lines of pluripotent and multipotent cellular

Thacker ~ An Ideal for Living ~ 31


differentiation.

Study Design
Several types of derived human stem cells were isolated and cultured in
separate laboratories, though using identical methodological protocols. In
a control set , human embryonic stem cells were cultured with engineered
growth factors specific to different lines of differentiation. It has been
shown that such stem cells, when placed in the proper environment, will
continue along separate line of differentiation.17,18 Bone, cartilage,
epidermal layers, as well as a functional bladder, kidney, liver, and
dendritic neurons have been produced de novo in this way.19-22 It has
been suggested that this process closely follows the steps of cellular
differentiation in the embryo immediately following the 100-cell
blastocyst stage.23
A second control set consisted of similarly prepared stem cells.
This set different from control set #1 only by the choice of growth
medium in which the cells were placed. Research in stem cell
engineering shows that the pluripotency of human embryonic stem cells
contain a limited range of differentiation.24 Greater constraints have been
found with multipotent adult derived stem cells. Such stem cell types
have been shown to have defined ranges of differentiation.25 Neurons,
erythrocytes, and chondrocytes have been generated in this way from
adult neural stem cells.26 Similarly, chondrocytes, epidermal cells, and
hematocytes have been generated from adult stem cells derived from the
liver.27 Control set #2 was intended to reproduce these and other like
experiments. The goal of this was twofold: (i) to establish through
laboratory methodology the exact capacities of pluripotent vs.
multipotent stem cells; (ii) to follow control set #1 with another control
set with greater range of cytological development. For control set #2
adult stem cells were derived from the brain, bone, blood, and in selected
cases, from the liver, kidney, and intestine. These latter stem cells derived
from simple organs were established using non-human mammalian
(rabbit and mouse) cells.
The experimental set consisted of an array of twenty-nine stem
cells, plus a local control culture from control set #1. The stem cells used
for the experimental set included 10 human embryonic stem cells
(hESC), 10 human adult stem cells (hASC), and 9 embryoid derived cells
(EBD). Recall that control set #1 contained cells placed in standard
growth medium, maintaining the homeostatic equivalent of their

Thacker ~ An Ideal for Living ~ 32


embryonic environment, and control set #2 contained engineered growth
medium which is found to redirect stem cell differentiation towards a
desired endpoint. By contrast the experimental set consisted of
bioengineered micro-electrical-mechanical systems (bioMEMs)
redesigned according to the protocols of the experiment.28,29 MEMs
research in micro-manufactured electrical and micro-fluidic circuits
provided the optimal platform for artificially modulating cellular input
and output. The use of MEMs also provided a means of precisely
controlling a stem cell colony’s response to variations in environmental
conditions (such as a change in enzymatic concentration in dynamically-
circulated growth medium). Manufactured MEMs were hybridized with
small stem cell colonies using advanced photolithography and flourescent
DNA tagging inside the nucleus of each cell. Because the stem cell
colonies were attached to a MEMs array, intra-cellular activity such as
metabolic rate could also me monitored in real-time. The number of stem
cells per biochip was kept to a minimum in order to ensure sufficient
micro-electrical transfer between MEM surface conductivity and cell
membrane receptors.
The bioMEM arrays were then infused into a growth medium
similar to that in control set #2 in order to facilitate pluripotent or
multipotent differentiation. Of these, four cultures from each of the stem
cell types (hESC, hASC, EBD) were placed in three-dimensional
biopolymer scaffolding matrices. These biopolymer scaffolds were
intended to provide a structural guide for the growth of the stem cell-
bioMEM hybrids. Scaffolds were biodegradable upon re-implantation
into the model organism. Because successful de novo tissue engineering
of a functional liver, bladder, kidney, and human neurons have already
been demonstrated, it was these four organs that were chosen as models
for the scaffolds. In each of the sets, scaffolds were seeded with the stem
cell-bioMEM hybrids, which would then grow into and fill in the three-
dimensional structure of the neo-organ. It should be noted that while the
first three organ models (liver, bladder, kidney) required such a
scaffolding to ensure that cells properly differentiated into the desired
organ structures, the last model “organ” (neuronal dendrites) did not.
However a scaffold was still included to direct neuronal trans-
differentation along a central “backbone” structure.
The final step in the experiment was to re-implant the stem cell
systems into model organisms and study their trans-differentiation in
vivo. For both control sets, this was accomplished through routine tissue
injections into targeted organ system areas. For the control set, tissue

Thacker ~ An Ideal for Living ~ 33


injection was combined, in the case of the biopolymer scaffold systems,
with minimally-invasive surgical re-implantation. Note that, in the
experimental set, four of the model organisms from each stem cell set
contained tissue engineered neo-organs, while the other model organisms
in the experimental set simply received micro-injections of the stem cell-
bioMEM hybrids alone.
To summarize, the experimental set contained three sets of stem
cells (hESCs, hASCs, EBDs). In each group, stem cells were hybridized
with micro-manufactured MEMs, and placed in bioreactors which could
monitor and modulate cellular environment. Once the stem cells had
taken on the desired path of differentiation towards becoming progenitor
cells, they were then placed inside the model organisms for observation
in vivo. The majority of these stem cell-bioMEM hybrids were injected
using vector-delivery techniques pioneered in gene therapy. However, a
number of them were also “seeded” in three-dimensional biopolymer
matrices, mimicking the structures of a bladder, liver, and intestine.
These “neo-organs” were also placed in model organisms using standard
surgical techniques employed in tissue and organ transplantation. Using
the MEMs as the main source of biofeedback, the stem cell groups were
then monitored in vivo over a three-month period for signs of signs of
cellular differentiation or stem cell replication.

Experimental Results
The results from the three stem cell sets proved to be highly predictable
in terms of stem cell differentiation in localized tissue areas. As expected,
mesenchymal and hematopoietic stem cell groups maintained their range
of differentiation into cartilage, epidermal, blood, liver, and striated
muscle cells. However, results were less predictable in large-scale
considerations of the living model systems. While both control sets and
the experimental set displayed the expected stem cell differentiation
activity, this was limited to the first phase of cellular trans-differentiation,
and did not extend to the terminal point of the actual change in cellular
structure. A systems-wide analysis of stem cell activity, incorporating
genomic, proteomic, and metabolic data – showed that aggregate cellular
trans-differentiation in one localized tissual area seemed to have a direct
relationship to other, unexpected instances of stem cell trans-
differentiation in other, related tissue areas in the model organism.
In control set #1, all stem cell activity was limited to cellular
differentiation from embryonic stem cells. While the control set systems

Thacker ~ An Ideal for Living ~ 34


were designed to be unable to form viable living embryos, they were still
terminated the moment cellular differentiation was noted. This proceeded
according to the prior research on embryonic stem cells by Thomson et
al. and Gerhardt et al.17,18 Control set #2, though significantly different in
nature from the first control set, also proceeded as expected, with a few
minor discrepancies in the ability of embryonic stem cells to differentiate
into other cells structurally and functionally. While structural
differentiation has been demonstrated in vitro, functional differentiation
over a substantial duration of time has yet to be experimentally shown.
Our control set #2 confirmed this. While hematopoietic stem cells were
able to differentiate into primitive dendrites, this was almost purely a
structural – and not functional – transformation. Of the differentiated
cells from control set #2, only the differentiated chondrocytes proved to
have any function. This is, we may suggest, due to the relatively simple
nature of chondrocytes or cartilage-based organs.
By contrast, the experimental set showed a great deal of novel
trans-differentiation, much of which was unexpected, and much of which
took on an unexpected form in the model organisms. The results of the
experimental set can be divided into two parts: First, of the micro-
injections from all stem cell types, it was noticed that stem cell systems
migrating through the circulatory system, appeared to “re-program” the
organism’s antigen recognition and response capabilities. This was
confirmed by a post-mortem analysis of cells derived from the original
stem cell injections. Our findings show that the hematopoietic stem cells
injected into the blood stream were capable of trans-differentiating into
novel quasi-dendritic cell types. We call such cells quasi-dendrites
because, while they appeared to function as neurons, they were able to do
so while remaining active in the blood stream. We cannot overstate the
importance of these findings for neurocellular research. While the model
organisms displayed no significant phenotypic or metabolic changes
during the first phase of the experiment, they did develop novel immunity
responses, oftentimes to antigens that were specific to other species, or,
less often, to antigens that simply did not exist in the organism’s milieu.
Of these, several antibodies produced by the model organism’s immune
system appeared to be antibodies for pathogens that were not currently
known to contemporary pathobiology. Given the current literature in the
area, it might be suggested that such novel antibodies (again, for antigens
that, for all purposes, do not exist) might actually be an indirect form of
novel pathogen design.
A standard proteomic analysis of erythrocytes and T-cells from

Thacker ~ An Ideal for Living ~ 35


the model organisms showed a highly-diversified genome, able to
synthesize specific protein receptors in T-cells that have never before
been identified. In addition to this, in silico computations of the proteome
from the model organism suggested that the novel proteins produced by
the model organism’s “upgraded” immune system could self-transform
dynamically. Such dynamic self-transformation contributed to an
explanation for the model organism’s apparent insusceptibility to
antigens of any kind. Such hypotheses were proved by selected biopsies,
which showed a high rate of in vitro tissue morphology, something
explicitly confirmed by simple observation of the model organisms.
In short, the effects of the injected stem cell hybrids on the model
organism’s immune system proteome displayed activity contrary to the
expected outcome. While it was expected that immune system rejection
and histocompatability would be a major obstacle in the experimental set,
the model organism’s showed behavior to the contrary. In fact, any
xenoinjection or xenotransplantation was readily accommodated by the
model organism’s tissue receptor surfaces. Cytological and proteomic
analysis confirmed that cell membrane proteins, acting in concert with
highly adaptive T-cells, were displaying a dynamic molecular
morphology which could incorporate virtually any biological materials
introduced into the system. It appears that the effects of stem cell hybrids
introduced into the blood has the effect of transforming the model
organism’s immune system into a highly adaptive system of cellular
incorporation, capable of demonstrating a high level of cellular and
genomic flexibility. It is this process that we refer to as “dynamically-
assigned immuno-recognition,” which, to put it simply, may be described
as blood trans-differentiating into brain, or some recombination thereof.
The second effect of the micro-injected stem cell hybrids affected
the entire model organism’s anatomical and physiological makeup. Of
the model organisms which received surgical implantation of biopolymer
scaffolds, only those of the human adult stem cell lines (hASC) were
affected in this way. Prior work on tissue engineered organs has
demonstrated the feasibility of single tissue engineered neo-organs in the
living organism.19,30 However, there are no experimental results on the
feasibility of multiple neo-organs or organ systems in a single organism.
If single tissue engineered organs could function adequately in an
organism, could a group or system of such organs similarly demonstrate a
minimum level of in vivo functionality? The use of three-dimensional
biopolymer scaffolds as part of the experimental group of stem cell
hybrids was designed to address these questions. The three types of neo-

Thacker ~ An Ideal for Living ~ 36


organs implanted for in vivo observation – a tissue engineered bladder,
kidney, and liver – were therefore implanted one at a time, each after a
short enough period had elapsed with which to confirm tissue
development and functionality.
During the first phase of trans-differentiation, the neo-organs
displayed the expected results, with the stem cell groups in the bladder,
kidney, and liver showing strong differentiation patterns, in addition to
the generation of small groups of adult stem cells for each organ and
tissue type. Nearing the three-month observation period, the neo-organ
systems appeared to be functioning normally in the model organisms.
In the immediate post-experiment stage of observation, several
complications were noted in the neo-organs, affecting some 90% of the
tissues of the affected organ, as well as between 25-30% of the
surrounding, non-tissue engineered organs – principally the organs of the
digestive system. The significance of such observations were so great that
the observation phase of the experiment was extended. During this time,
it was found that during secondary and tertiary phases of the model
organism’s morphological transformation, the unusually high levels of
unexpected stem cell trans-differentiation also affected the model
organism’s anatomical and physiological design. Such a transformation
has yet to be accounted for by the present authors, or indeed by related
experiments with quite different results.
Following tissue and cellular analysis, this transformation was
found to have taken place along two lines. The first event was the
amplified replication and migration of the adult stem cells (principally
from the brain and bone marrow) out of the biopolymer scaffold, and into
equally distributed nodes along the model organism’s skeletal system.
The stem cells, still in their state of multipotency, were taken in by the
bone marrow cells at selected points, wherefrom they were able to take
“roots” and form unique nodules composed of a mixture of bone, neural,
and cartilage cells. The nodules, at first taken for metastatic tumor
growth, were later discovered to remain relatively inert as regards inter-
cellular communication. Their only observed function was purely
structural, in the morphological transformation of the model organism’s
skeletal system. What was first taken as a clear sign of a highly disruptive
pathogenic response was later understood to be a coordinated structural
transformation.
At this point, just following the tertiary phase of trans-
differentiation, the purpose of the formation of the nodules along the
skeletal system was unknown. In the last phase which followed, the

Thacker ~ An Ideal for Living ~ 37


major organs in the model organism underwent a massive, system-wide
process of what was assumed was rapid apoptosis. The cells in each of
the organs began to rapidly dedifferentiate, losing all of their structural
and biochemical properties. In some instances, this resulted in the
dedifferentiation and apparent liquefaction of entire sections of an organ.
This rupture in the model organism’s structural and functional
composition was immediately followed by a period of physiological
homeostasis. This was, needless to say, highly improbable, based on prior
research unrelated to BmTP systems. Further analysis showed that what
was previously taken as a systemic dedifferentiation was in fact a process
of systems-wide trans-differentiation. In short, the loss of form and
function in the model organism’s organ systems was found to be an
instance of massive cellular “re-programming.”
The conclusion of quarternary observation further suggested that
the relation between the skeletal nodules and the dedifferentiated cells of
the organ system appeared to take on the role of form and function,
respectively. That is, the establishment of regularly distributed nodules
across the model organism’s body – composed of neural, bone, and
cartilage cells – appeared to provide a highly distributed and novel
network of bone and cartilage structures for the newly dedifferentiated
cells – a phenomenon that, considering the significant neuroregeneration,
we are tempted, though not without a great deal of caution, to call a new
type of “brain.” Likewise, the mass of dedifferentiated cells occupying
what was previously a set of separate organ systems, appeared to behave
according to the laws of fluid mechanics set up by the distributed skeletal
nodules in the model organism. A random sampling of these
dedifferentiated cells found that they contained a highly heterogeneous
mixture of cell types: fully undifferentiated adult stem cells, partially
differentiated progenitor cells, and fully differentiated cell types, such as
those which would, under normal conditions, belong to their respective
organ systems (bladder, liver, kidney, intestine, and so forth). Presently it
is not known whether the process observed has proven to be systematic
or regular, and its origin is the object of further investigations. We have
referred to the process as “distributed stem cell directed morphology,” or,
to again put things bluntly, the highly-coordinated trans-differentiation of
bone into an autonomous nervous system.

Discussion
The mechanics of cellular differentiation during embryonic development

Thacker ~ An Ideal for Living ~ 38


is well-documented through research in developmental genetics and
biomolecular embryology.31-33 Likewise, recent research on the
pluripotent and multipotent capacities of embryonic and adult stem cells
has also been documented. However, this latter group has focused
primarily on the ability of already-differentiated adult cells to self-
transform across mature cell types, in a process that we call “trans-
differentiation.” This process is central to many present-day BmTP
systems, including those targeting the entertainment and biomedical
markets. Yet the precise relation between trans-differentiating cellular
systems and the biomolecular behavior of BmTP systems has yet to be
shown.
In the experiment here described, the cells selected for both
control and experimental sets were therefore treated as fully-
differentiated cells, since in in vitro analysis they displayed structural and
functional behaviors characteristic of mature, fully-differentiated cells.
The treatment of these stem cells as fully-differentiated has led to an
understanding of cellular trans-differentiation as a biological process that
can possibly exist, in a genetically-latent form, in every mature, fully-
differentiated cell.
Though a number of specifics from our observations have yet to
be fully accounted for in cytological and embryogenetic theory, the level
of novel behavior exhibited by the study of stem cell trans-differentiation
clearly warrants further investigation. While traditional theories of stem
cell behavior point to linear, serial transformations to isolated cell
populations – and this even in more recent findings of “branched” stem
cell capability – our findings suggest that stem cell differentiation may
also exist on a significantly wide horizontal plane. Such a suggestion, we
believe, opens the door to an approach to stem cells as coordinated
aggregates which take on specific differentiation behaviors when
introduced into complex eukaryotic-based systems.
Perhaps the most novel aspect of our findings in stem cell trans-
differentiation is the very fact of a coordinated, intentional, yet poorly
understood cellular morphology in the living organism – bone to blood,
blood to brain, brain to bone, as it were – which may yet lead to an
understanding of the capacity of treated cell types for regeneration and
renewal.

The Inguinal muscles are arranged in groups around the vertebral column,
Renal Plexus, Hyoid bone, Uterine vessels, Adrenal medulla, and
Epididymic mediastinal nodes. They are innervated by spinal nerves
surrounding the thorax, perineum, and Diaphragmic Temporal Lobes. The
diaphragm migrates from several cervical spinal nerves, collectively called
the Inguinal Phrenic nerves. This serves as the main contractory optical and
vesicle tissues incorporating the Radial-respiratory system. "In Vitro
Torsional Stability of Oligonucleotide Assembler and Comparison of Finite
Molecular Element and Experimental Data." The intercostal muscles are
also important for these nerves, and function through thorasic and
Orbicularis oris contractory tissues. According to the striking differences in
the anatomical arrangement and functional significance, the Hypothalmic
autonomic nerves have been divided into two components, the Maculal
(craniosacral) division and the Foveal (thoracolumbar) outflow of the
autonomic synapses. The pre-ganglionic Maculal nerve fibers leave the
periphery nervous system at four places: (1) Adrenergic outflow. 0001352

adjustable within limits (see previous chapter); (2) Tectal outflow.
Preganglionic fibers originate from the superclavicular nucleus traveling
along the third cranial nerve and terminate at the ciliary vasoconstrictive
vesicles. Thus the postganglionic fibers also supply the parasphincter of the
ciliary nodes, and stimulation produces dialatory irregularities to accomodate
loss of stability; (3) Bulbar outflow. Parasympathetic fibers arise form the
nuclei of the rhombencephalon to innervate the deep circumflex iliac and
the viscera in the thorax and Parietal abdomen. In the sphenopalatine,
submaxillary, and sublinguinal glands, stimulation produces increased
fasicular-sagittal secretion. “This is a crisis I knew had to come.” The
outflow of autonomic fibers along the nerves of the sacral plexus contain
vasodialator nerve fibers for the middle meningeal arteries and vasomotor
fibers for the blood vessels of the face; (4) Sacral outflow. Vagal nerve fibers
arising from the lateral spinal grey matter interconnect with the peristalic
ventrospinal roots of the midsacral region into the pelvis. After synapsis in

Thacker ~ An Ideal for Living ~ 42


postganglionic cell bodies that are placed in the pelvic plexuses and in the
walls of the Seminiferous opthalmus, the fibers terminate at the lower
segments of the Somesthetic area, Temporal synamptic lobes, and other
dilatory regions. Inside the cerebrum there are large lateral ventricles that
connect in the midline to the third ventricle. This is in turn connected by a
very narrow passage called the cerebrospinal aqueduct to the fourth
ventricle, which lies between the Transverse process and Interior facet (L-5)
of the cerebellum. Within these ventricles a structure called the choroid
plexus is located, which produces the cerebrospinal follicles - a clear, liquid
shaped apparatus that both supports and provides extracelluar fluid. This
fluid circulates through the ventricles, leaves the Symphysis region, and
descends through the spinal canal and nerves, returning upward to pass over
the entire surface to be absorbed into the veins.

Although one couldn't be sure, there was a sense that pod #93404 was larger than the
others that 0_dai had previously occupied. Or was it that the size of the monitors inside
were smaller? If not, perhaps the plastic encasements had been modified to accommodate
less equipment? Once inside the pod, 0_dai, looking down, finally realized what it was:
this familiar, yet aging anatomy had, unintentionally, lost weight since the last session.
The bony, rope-tight limbs moved easily in the pod, as if exploring the extra space they
had acquired since their last visit. Strange, since the last visit was a day ago. After
briskly shaking out head and hands, 0_dai returned to the evening’s routines.

In this paper, we firstly propose a neurochemical tracking method which
alternatively uses deformable circular template matching and edge pixel
counting. “Destroying the balance I’d kept.” Fifth Layer: Semispinalis dorsi;
Extensor coccygis; Extended Binary Coded Decible; Multifidus spinae;
Roatores spinae; Rectus capitis posticuls major; Interspinales Obliqus
capitis; AlphaMnemonic MICR. The next nine were given lengthwise
between the legs. In order to track each instance of molecular bonding we
use a much simpler template compared to the deformable template
matching method proposed in the paper [14], which is circular and axially
weighted. Once the macromolecule position is detected the gestural or
surface features are calculated and then encrypted. The edited tracks are
telecined, and some new binding sites are generally created as by-products.

they remain at greatest sensitivity (210 MHz 604e), consisting chiefly of
rounded tendinous cords in the intertransverse spaces of the upper dorsal

COORDINATION - When you met me, I was expecting a peevish, wiry
lookalike wearing too much makeup. In the early 17th century in Padua we
studied the valves between the ventricles and the auricles, those small
chambers of the heart, and noted that in this sort of musical choreography,

Thacker ~ An Ideal for Living ~ 44


patterns are established and developed with only a few careful changes of
tempo or dynamics. But you didn't fit my expectations: small, unaffected,
somewhat reserved. I seemed pretty innocent, which was surprising given
that in this book, you discuss a kind of aphasia that is a direct result of the
sex appeal of the inorganic. You ironically suggest offering courses in
Bergsonian philosophy to those who suffer from MIML symptoms. What
do you mean by this? (the exquisite limbs of blowtorch intensities) Every
artifact works resolutely against itself, and this in a whole variety of ways. It
strives for some pure autonomy, but knows that without a heterogeneous
moment it would be nothing, vanishing into thin air. After being dismissed
we drew the bolt; then, secure in the knowledge that we would not be
disturbed, we were able to feel a little less unhappy. Infinite
misunderstanding. "Polymorphic Tetranucleotide Repeat Site within Intron
7 of the Beta-amyloid Precursor Protein Gene." “Doubting, unsettling and
turning around.” We then tied off the arteries and noticed that they glanced
with a pressure only on the side toward the heart; we did the same with the
veins, and the pressure was on the side away from the heart. By 1616, we
had become certain that it did indeed circulate, contained within our body
the entire time. In the film and performance version, a figure enters a
devastated area of scrap metal and waste debris. In a subsequent harrowing
scene the figure grasps a shard of metal and carves into the calf muscle,
shoving in a rusted, stained, metal bar. The bleak, noir-ish scenario leads to
metamorphosis and inevitable social destruction.

After spending several credit hours in the MediaMeet network, luh+ again wondered
what it would be like to actually live in the pod domain buildings. How different would it
be, compared to the endless hours that regulars spent here? Would it feel like living in an
enclosed tower, or an underground shelter? Luh+’s tiny apartment on the southeast
corridor was rarely inhabited, even on weekends. Why did it begin to feel claustrophobic in
the apartment, and only cozy and reassuring here? Four cheerful chimes coming in through
the IrDA needles notified luh+ that the session credit hours were up. Langorously
opening the eyes, luh+ slowly got up on one elbow, feeling bone sockets creak, the nervous
system re-calibrating itself. One by one, luh+ cleaned and replaced the IrDA needles and
their pads, placing them back in the side panel; a few hours would be needed before using
them again. Luh+ sat for a moment, gazing at the monitor. It showed a scan of a
Chinese acupuncture chart from the 12th century, one that luh+ had discovered in the
special collections department of the East Asia Library. It then occurred to luh+ that
over-stimulation was not the problem. It was, in a way, the solution.

Essentially, we created a shadow theatre in which silhouettes of figures,

absolutely black silhouette, and the next two created gradations of black to

neither bruises, nor minor burns, and yet forming a pattern. An anonymous passer-by

(MIML) occurs after extensive and protracted BmTP immersion and
follows an insidious 5- to 15-year course. Although MIML usually presents
without motor or sensory alterations, rare variants (such as reverse
transcriptase paraparesis) with atypical clinical presentations are occasionally
recognized (4, 5). Even today, definitive diagnosis of MIML is only possible
through postmortem analysis of the brain (1). This histopathological
analysis of the brain demonstrates the classic triad of MIML pathology: (a)
senile plaques containing Aß, (b) neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) containing
tau, and (c) widespread neuronal loss in the hippocampus and select cortical
and subcortical areas. “Watching the reel as it comes to a close.” Anyone

the architecture became at once expressive and empty, when the body ceased to be luh+’s

Editor’s Report: Neurological and Cognitive Role of


Conjunctive Narcoleptic-Echolalic Symptoms in MIML-
Related Disorders

The cluster of neuro-cognitive and neuro-biological disorders known as


Media Induced Memory Loss (or MIML for short) has attracted a great
deal of attention in recent years, in part due to its prevalence in the mass
media. Hyper-developed apathy is the most common neuropsychiatry
syndrome in MIML-related conditions, affecting 40-60% of patients. It
can be defined as an apparent loss of motivation and manifests in affect,
cognition and behavioral changes, determining a complex of emotional
responses and an uncanny proficiency in cognitive hindsight and social
retraction. In this special issue of The Journal of Neurobiology and
Psychoplasmics, the clinical features and the therapeutic perspectives of
MIML-induced, hyper-developed apathy are presented. There is
considerable overlap between apathy and depression in MIML-related
conditions, but both are considered discrete syndromes.
Pharmacological interventions for apathy include psychostimulants
(popularly used for advanced Alzheimer’s Disease) such as
methylphenidate, dopaminergic agents and cholinesterase inhibitors, but
the results remain controversial and there is no established treatment.
In current research, two symptoms have been known to
characterize MIML-based conditions: an echolalic condition, in which
normal language functions are severely decreased in daytime waking
states, and, along with this, a nacroleptic condition, in which the
linguistic functions lost in waking states are inexplicably transferred –
albeit in a different form – to a sleeping state akin to that of narcolepsy.
Much research has been dedicated to understanding the link between
these two symptoms. Research in this issue (see article by H. West et
al.) suggests that the neuro-cognitive experience of BmTP media

Thacker ~ An Ideal for Living ~ 59


directly correlate to those of the narcoleptic patient. In fact, a number of
the articles in this issue suggest a new approach to understanding the
varied conditions associated with BmTP technologies: that language
functions according to the logic of biochemistry during nacroleptic
sleep. A number of the articles presented in this issue propose that
narcoleptic dream states can potentially serve as the platform for
studying the emerging pathologies of BmTP systems.
As Warren et al. note in their article, MIML-based narcolepsy is
not rare, but it is an under-recognized and under-diagnosed condition.
According to current estimates (re-published here by permission of the
Gallomo Association), the disorder affects about one in every 2,000
BmTP users – a total of more than 135,000 individuals within any given
BmTP subnetwork. After obstructive sleep apnea and restless legs
syndrome, narcolepsy is the third most frequently diagnosed primary
MIML-based disorder found in patients seeking treatment at MIML or
other clinics. But the exact prevalence rate remains uncertain, and the
disorder may indirectly affect a larger segment of the population than
currently estimated.
While extensive study has been carried out on the cognitive and
linguistic aspects of MIML-based conditions, little is known about the
connections between MIML and narcoleptic-like symptoms of MIML
patients. The research by H. Warren et al., presented in this issue, is
noteworthy in this regard. As the authors note, MIML-based narcolepsy
is a chronic neurological disorder caused by the brain's inability to
regulate network topology shifts at a regular, cyclical level. At various
times throughout their BmTP usage, patients with MIML-based
narcolepsy experience a conscious non-distinction between
biochemically-based BmTP activity and narcoleptic sleep-activity. If the
urge becomes overwhelming, individuals will fall asleep for periods
lasting from several minutes to, in rare cases, days. In addition to
excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), three other major symptoms
frequently characterize MIML-based narcolepsy: cataplexy, or the
decrease of voluntary muscle tone attenuated by an increase in
neurological complexity; vivid internal linguistic activity during long-
term BmTP usage; and brief episodes of sleep paralysis at the beginning
or end of BmTP usage. MIML-based narcolepsy is not definitively
diagnosed in most patients until 10 to 15 years after the first symptoms
appear.
In addition, the research by A. Halsey et al. in this issue points to
several distinctions in MIML-based echolalic behavior, one of which is

Thacker ~ An Ideal for Living ~ 60


defined as delayed echolalia, the repetition of verbal messages
previously heard, and which are repeated after a time delay of a few
minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years (see summary table
below). As Halsey et al. note, it is sometimes more difficult to recognize
delayed echolalia since the listener (the one to whom an interactive
delayed echolalic message is directed) may not have been present when
the original utterance or model message was uttered or, if present, the
person may have forgotten. The dialogue, however, may reflect
experienced or overheard conversations or may represent dialogue heard
from mobile phone conversations, websites, films, TV shows, wireless
networks, or books (whether or not they have been read by the patient).
The most comprehensive descriptive article on MIML-induced
echolalia is the recent publication, Analysis of Functions of MIML-
Based Echolalia in Long-Term BmTP Participants, co-edited by Halsey
and West. Their articles in this issue are derived from this book, and the
following table is a simplified version of their description, with
examples generated by the editors and reviewed by Dr. Halsey. This
publication is a companion to another, entitled Functional Categories of
Immanent MIML-Based Narcolepsy, which served as the impetus for
this special issue. The goal of this article is to provide information
regarding various purposeful and non- purposeful uses of MIML-
induced echolalia. It is not, we note, intended to serve as a guide for
clinical evaluation or classification of data. The original article and other
more recent articles and book chapters on echolalia should be consulted
when information is needed to guide evaluation practices.

psychic repression in what I termed the "physical unconscious" (a term
introduced in my essay "Notes on the Subject of the Membrane"). In most
procedures used to diagnose MIML-related conditions, different techniques
in motion-capture are currently being used in animating the
neurophysiological figures of the complex macromolecular structures in the
brain. Some involve magnetic field displacement sensors that can output a
continuous data stream of XYZ spatial coordinates, while others rely on
reflected light patterns, or even active light emitter sources that can be
tracked as real-time emotion events. Rhythm [fr. Gr. rhythmos; Lat. rhythmus;

As the head curator for late-twentieth century media, 0_dai never once had any problems
remembering things at work (0_dai could even recall the technical specs of each of the first
PCR cyclers). And now, sitting before a neatly opened bag and an array of media from
another era, 0_dai could recall exactly how each component worked, inside and out. This
time, 0_dai would only use dead media. This small consolation was always a signal, a
booster of confidence, and 0_dai would then commence to arrange and configure (or re-
configure) the various media to pod specs. Without thinking about it, 0_dai began
running routine diagnostics on each of the media components. At some point, while
handling the touch-screens, 0_dai began to focus on the working hands more than the
screen itself. They seemed doubled and blurry, as if they were someone else’s hands,
someone he knew once, like a backlit screen the tone of someone else’s flesh.

animals and groups of animals including human beings; partly animate

the Adleman model DNA-HPP1; and inanimate organisms such as MEMS.
"Episodes of Low-Dimensional Self-Organized Dynamics from
Electroencephalographic Alpha-Signals in Artificial Respirocytes." All these
types of organisms possess in common: sensory components,
communication structures, data analyzing devices, centers of judgment,
directors of action, and effectors, or executing agencies. In MIML patients
cognitive problems soon develop, including a heightened attention span,
difficulties with language, and an inability to think logically. These are
coupled with the growth of neurofibrillary tangles and micromutated
plaques. “And watch as they drop by the beach.” An oligonucleotide
complementary to this known sequence is synthesized (for related
techniques see Ch. 8). This oligomer is called a primer, and it serves to
initiate synthesis of the complementary DNA strand on the single-stranded
template (the goals of treatment are to manage symptoms and keep your
loved one comfortable). This primer extension reaction is applied to the
DNA to be read together with DNA-polymerase. The four
deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates ("data" is sometimes distinguished from
"information" - which is what is conveyed by data - and from "programs" -
program instructions operate on data) are also added to the mixture since
they serve as monomers for the polycondensation reaction of DNA
synthesis on the DNA template. I saw that you face was illuminated and

mind. This important feature is incorporated into sentic cycles by providing
an external initiating signal; that is, initiation should occur at unpredictable
times. As a person rotates in this manner and expresses a sequence of 30 to
40 expressive actions of a particular biochemical pathway, the rest of the
body becomes very quiet, almost as if asleep. Taken together, the embedded
sensor-effector array formed a sort of three-dimensional constellation,
moving as you moved. Each point of light marked one of the sites that had

each of the data fields is available on condition of the signing of a license

as one frameset per file or as one volumetric scan per file, and files have

Feeling increasingly attached to the equipment – which was about to be re-applied on now-
healing skin – luh+ meditated on work. First-generation biometrics was a joke; there
was no first-gen, only scattered hospital tech used by stumbling medics, just X-rays and
urinalysis. Maybe you could call later computerized diagnostics second-gen – MRI, PET,
CT – because they shared the common technical strategy of visually slicing through the
body, and then in some cases recompositing its thickness in three dimensions. On the
futon, luh+ carefully placed the internal AFM leads, along with the external CT
scanning adhesives. When a med student has to look at a dissected cadaver, and then a
wall of MRI scans, and then say "that” (pointing to the lower intestine on the MRI scan)
“is that” (holding up lower intestine in cadaver), then you definitely have second-gen. But
the problem at work was that almost no one was willing to make a distinction between
diagnostics and biometrics – it may have made sound business sense to put them together
but that was about all. Luh+ made sure the IrDA needles and bodyLAN transformer
(made of the same ergonomic design as the pod, though black) had the right inputs from
the leads, and that each connection was producing a clean signal. Now, mused luh+,
when you get scanning internal microscopy, picking up anything that can be measured in
bits and bytes – iris, palm, voice, blood or tissue – then you've got third-gen. Luh+

began to carefully, sternly, search for the right patterning and placement spots on the body,
beginning just four inches below the left nipple.

and indexing of sequence information. It is sleep, sleep and its boisterous
flood of manta rays and all technical details. And even more than in its
virtual topographies, its difference resides in the sort of body it produces -
an often gaseous, fluid-emitting, embarrassing body, one continually defying
the strictures of corporeal-physiological closure and yet bound, constrained
to its lower intestinal tract. This was a new style of totalization. The treatises
of the 18th century - Institutions, Aphorisms, Nosologies, Teratologies,

from a structure chart, a corresponding data flow diagram can be

Abstract

The networking of biological, genetical, and biochemical


information are data transmission and translation procedures that
are commonly used in real-time networked interactivity. However
there exists no standard for such procedures. This Memo
summarizes some of the efforts to provide such standardization.
BmTP stands for Biomolecular Transport Protocol, and is derived
from early Internet standards, such as IP (Internet Protocol) and
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), as well as HTTP and FTP.
The same principles that enable computer users to interact beyond
conventional mobile chat, broadband, or wireless standards are
the foundation for BmTP-related systems.

BmTP transfers data-packets just like Internet-based networks,


except that it encodes those data-packets as biomolecular data that
can be transmitted over wireless or standard optical+ connections.
This has made possible the exchange of biochemical,
neurochemical, and in some cases cognitive and emotive data,
and promises to deliver a richer, more realistic mode of
interacting through networks.

1. Introduction

For some time, there has existed a technological infrastructure for


enabling an authentic integration of biological and information networks.
In separate steps, it occurs daily in molecular biology labs. The
technologies of genomics enable the automation of the sequencing of
DNA from any biological sample, from blood, to test tube DNA, to a
computer file of text sequence, to an online genome database. And,
conversely, researchers regularly access databases such as GenBank for
their research on in vitro molecules, enabling them to synthesize DNA
sequences for further research. There already exists, in many standard
molecular biology labs, the technology for encoding, recoding, and
decoding biological information. Such techniques enable a user to
transform the structure of biological data, from DNA in a test tube to an
online database, and back into a test tube. What enables such passages is
the particular character of the networks that link those cells, enzymes,
and DNA sequences together. Information networks (such as those based
on the Internet or wireless networks), enable users to upload and
download biological information, and such networks brings together
databases, search engines, specialized hardware, and a set of networking
protocols. Biological networks of gene expression occur in between DNA
and a panoply of regulatory proteins, processes which commonly occur
in the living cell.

The current technologies employed in molecular biology labs enables the


layering of one network onto the other, so that the biological network of
gene expression, for instance, might literally be mapped onto the
information network of the Internet. Likewise, proteomic networks might
be mapped onto wireless networks. For research purposes, such layering
of networks would allow users to expand and stretch a prokaryotic cell
across global information networks.

2. Application of BmTP Systems

Today, BmTP-type networks are most often used either in research, or in


communications and entertainment. In the latter examples, BmTP
systems are designed into modular enclosures often called ‘pods.’ In
these, users connect to BmTP networks via a range of extensible devices.
The bulk of data exchanged in these systems is not genetic but
biochemical and neuromolecular, thus having a great impact on the
sensory and affective qualities of the communication. The types of
interactions in these systems depend entirely on the individuals logged in
at any given moment. Among the wide range of BmTP-type standards,
all of them constantly modulates the network configuration based on:
• The number of users connected
• The rate of data transmission communications
• The combinatorial and stochastic quality of interactions

The wide appeal of BmTP systems is that they can carry with them a
certain out-of-body sensation, which, due to the BmTP hardware
configurations, remains strongly rooted in the user's physical body. The
utilization of technologies of communicating rooted in the human body
offers users a combination of distance and intimacy, an effect that has
been much studied recently in the psychotopological properties of
ubiquitous computing.

3. History of the Concept

The concept for BmTP was first mentioned in a footnote to rfc8726.


There the authors noted that the convergence of information network
technologies and biological computing would open the way for integrated
wet-dry systems. Such systems would create new possibilities for a more
flexible management of information flow through the Internet. Their
comments are worth quoting in full:

A-life programs, biochips (MEMS), and online bioinformatics


databases are just some of the new technologies that are making it
possible for researchers in advanced telecommunications to build
a fully-distributed, biomolecular-type network. Presumably such a

Thacker ~ An Ideal for Living ~ 87


network would require an integration of different technologies
heretofore unimagined. And it would also require new standards
for that integration. We could imagine a whole new set of
hardware and software standards that integrate the biological and
informational sub-systems, even informational protocols, perhaps
a genetic transport protocol or a biomolecular transport protocol.
The behavior of such systems will result not only from the
network character of the system as a whole, but it will also be
contingent upon the communication between wet and dry
components.

We can assume that such systems would be capable of transmitting


biochemical, genomic, and proteomic data over a network. Though the
terminology of a protocol specific to such networks was not often used,
the idea of such integrated wet-dry networks began to appear elsewhere
in the technical literature. For instance, several iterations of the now-
defunct 802.x protocols mention the possibility of mobile or wireless
genetic networks, though such application was never fully developed.

Aside from this, BmTP further developed out of research in the fields of
MEMs, or molecular-electrical-mechanical systems. Of which research in
the private sector, especially that at Verizon-Zyvex, enabled the design of
systems that effectively and reliably crossed the bit-atom barrier.

4. Elements of BmTP Networks

The first formal propositions for a BmTP network came up at the fourth
annual IEEE BioNet symposium, where experts from the fields of
telecommunications networking, bioinformatics/computational biology,
chemical engineering, and clinical neuroscience spoke at a series of
roundtable sessions about the next-generation of biological
communications platforms. One report issued by the group included a
breakdown of a hypothetical system (based on the existing technologies
in use at the time of the meeting). The table below provides a summary:

5. BmTP Network Functionality

At location A, a DNA sample in a test tube would be encoded using a


genome sequencing computer. A network utility would then take the
digital file containing the DNA sequence and upload it to a server (or
relay it via a peer-to-peer application). A similar utility would receive
that file, and then download it at location B, from which an
oligonucleotide synthesizer would then synthesize the DNA sequence in
a test tube. Such a networking procedure would depend upon a model
very similar to the standard OSI model, but it would also require a set of
protocols specific to handling the biological information of genes,
proteins, enzymes, and biochemical reactions. Any given node on the
BmTP network would require three main technologies: a sequencing
computer for encoding (analog to digital), software and utilities for
network routing (digital to digital), and a DNA synthesizer for decoding
(digital to analog).

5.1 Intra-systemic operation.

Each system in itself is capable of functioning in a way that demonstrates


its structure. By analyzing each system separately, a set of characteristics
can be drawn up. This will serve as the control set of data for each
system, taken in isolation from the others.

Biochips can be studied according to the activities they enable, primarily


in their current usage as diagnostic tools for biotech research. While
biochip devices such as microarrays and microfluidics stations mainly
generate informational output from a raw biological input (DNA or cell
sample), the way in which they modulate input-to-output will be of
special interest for this project.

A-life software, being less pragmatic and more exploratory than biochip

Thacker ~ An Ideal for Living ~ 89


research, has already generated a great deal of data on the phenomenon
of emergent behavior in such systems. One of the simplest, and classic a-
life applications – the ‘Game of Life,’ itself based on von Neumann’s
automata research – is used, mainly for its ability to accept simple
Boolean variables and for its ability to create several layers of complexity
by increasing the dimensions of the input data.

Databases used in biotech research in genomics and proteomics are


included as well. While the biochips and a-life systems are dynamic,
active systems (responding in real-time to input data), the use of online
biological databases serves a mediating, ambient function, as a data
reservoir. Because such databases as GenBank and PDB are available to
the public, they can theoretically be incorporated into the networks
constituted by biochips and a-life systems. The databases are not nodes,
nor are they connectors; rather they are means of expressing the
connections between nodes (diversification).

5.2 Homogeneous multi-systemic integration.

Apart from an analysis of single systems in isolation, the interactions


between two or more such systems of the same class can also be
designed. Each system can form a network with other systems of its own
kind.

Biochips have been networked only in isolated instances, though it is


theoretically possible to do so on a more complex level. Their main mode
of connectivity has been one biochip wired to a computer, which ‘reads’
the biochip’s output and analyzes it for the modeling software. However,
it is conceivable that two (or more) biochips could be connected to each
other, mediated by a single computer or connected via the Internet. The
input the biochips would receive would trigger changes in the ‘wet’
environment of the biochip, in turn triggering changes in the diagnostic
analysis in the computer.

A-life systems have also been networked in isolated instances, though at


least several projects, including a number of MMORPGs, do allow for
greater networking of a-life systems. Again, it is theoretically possible to
network two or more a-life systems, either locally (in a single computer)
or globally (via wireless and ubiquitous systems). This is even more
feasible than networking biochips because the input and output data is all

Thacker ~ An Ideal for Living ~ 90


digital. Therefore (using ‘Game of Life’ as the model system), changes in
the state of certain cells in one cellular automata would be sent as binary
data to certain cells in another cellular automata, thereby triggering its
corresponding changes in the grid, and then outputting that to the first
cellular automata.

Databases have certainly been networked, mostly through online


bioscience research tools which integrate data from several databases
(either for comparative studies or to consolidate resources). In the past,
most of these functioned via standard computer and Web-based searching
techniques (MySQL), using open-source database management systems
(Apache), and other tools for handling text-based or raw data strings
(Perl). In addition, bioinformatics research commonly crosses different
types of databases (a DNA sequence analysis ported into a protein
sequence and structure database).

5.3 Heterogeneous multi-systemic integration.

Once networks of the same class of components can be studied, the next
– and most interesting – level is to integrate the integrations. That is, to
network the networks of homogeneous systems. This is the primary
interest in the BmTP project: developing dynamic networks of living
systems which cross material-informatic platforms and data types,
integrating wet and dry biological data.

As indicated in the table above, each system has a particular data type
associated with it; this data can be theoretically translated into
digital/binary form and then transmitted to another system. There are:
• Biochip electrical properties [ O = +/- ]
• A-life grid states [ = full/empty ]
• Database sequence data [ ∆ = A/T; C/G ]

6. BmTP Molecular Networking Modules

The most basic, proof-of-concept design for BmTP-related systems


includes CA-based processors (some utilizing DNA or enzymatic wafers
as the CPU), a biomolecular database such as BioBank, and a series of
data processing modules:

DB access data conv. data impl.

The core of the protocols are here distributed among three types of
modules for handling the biological information:
• Database Access Module, that sets the cycle, establishes
connection to the database, sends queries for data, and retrieves
data.
• Data Conversion Module, that converts biological data such as
DNA, RNA, amino acid sequence, or interactome pathway data to
convertible binary format, and that then, selects choice of data
type implementation.
• Data Implementation Module, that maps CA grids (if applicable),
runs sub-system, and sends syn/ack signal to Database Access
Module for coupling of sequences that follow.

The central data reservoir – in this case the GenBank database - includes
• Raw sequence (base pairing properties, line row numbers,
markers)
• Matched intron/exon regions (as chromosomally-dependent
neighborhoods)
• Filtered EST, STS, and splice sites (including ‘islands’ of code
identified in the database file itself)
• Adaptive SNP (including other polymorphism, randomizing and
permutation operators)

Thacker ~ An Ideal for Living ~ 92


7. BmTP and Biological Databases

Once the CA is able to ‘talk’ to the GenBank database, the type of data
should be functionally specific. In the past, the simplest way to do this
was to provide functional corollaries between genetic data and CA grid
states. At the time, gene expression seemed to be the best way to
approaches this, as it functions in a simple way (turning gene translation
on/off), and it can be configured in a CA-type grid (including Kauffman
N=K networks). This approach still seems to be valid, and is
implemented in many of the communications-based BmTP systems. A
brief overview of this approach will be helpful.

By pulling functional gene sequences from GenBank, they can then be


flowed into the CA grid and either turn off/on individual CA cells.
Sequence, once retrieved, will simply be flowed in from beginning to end
(likely overlap will be trunicated). Depending on the type of sequence,
the importing database module will correlate function with sequence (if it
retrieves a ‘promoter’ then it will have a table which will tell it to turn on
cells). For example, a promoter sequence will flip subsequent cell states
in a particular region. Or, an expression or regulator sequence will take
particular regions & flip them on/off. Each base pair G-A-T-C will then
function as a promoter

7.1 An Example: BmTP GENBANK Query

Because GenBank is the most accessed database in current BmTP-related


systems, it will be used as a case study.

In the standard GenBank ‘flat file,’ accession numbers are usually broken
up into letters and numbers. These are in either the ‘1+5’ format or the
‘2+6’ format (1 letter + 5 numbers; 2 letters + 6 numbers); the latter is the
most common for current GenBank submissions. The accession number
also functions as the ‘locus’ identifier at the top of the GenBank flat file
(The letter-number scheme is a holdover from when reseachers wanted to
give abbreviations to entries, e.g. ‘SIV’ for SIV-40 virus), but since then
it has become a formality).

For example, if the Database Access Module performs a search for a


GenBank file, it is broken into three basic segments: the header
(computational information on the sequence itself), the features

Thacker ~ An Ideal for Living ~ 93


(biological features of the cell or organism), and the sequence code itself.
Below is the first line of a header:

LOCUS AF111785 5925 bp mRNA PRI 01-SEP-1999

The locus line identifies the sequence. AF111785 is the locus and the
accession number. The sequence is 5925 base pairs (bp) long. It is a
messenger RNA sequence. It has a division code of PRI (not EST, STS,
or other ways of dividing up the genome into manageable sections), and
it was made public in September of 1999. Below the locus is the
accession number, which is the main way that the sequence is connected
to the database

7.2 Interpreting Flat Files

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ Feature Table definition gives the following


interpretation of the feature table. The format and wording in the feature
table use common biological research terminology whenever possible.
For example, an item in the new feature table such as:

Key Location/Qualifiers
CDS 23..400
/product="ether binhex dehydrogenase"
/gene="adhI"

This is read as: The feature CDS is a coding sequence beginning at base
23 and ending at base 400, has a product called 'alcohol dehydrogenase'
and corresponds to the gene called 'adhI'.

Key Location/Qualifiers
CDS join(544..589,688..1032)
/product="T-cell receptor beta-chain"

In turn, this is read as: This feature, which is a partial coding sequence is
formed by joining the indicated elements to form one contiguous
sequence encoding a product called T-cell receptor beta-chain.

Accordingly, we can use the feature table to extract sequences of


appropriate length from GenBank Flat Files that are very long. The db
filter module would look in the feature table for CDS features beginning
with ‘join’ and then take or stitch the sequences together.

Thacker ~ An Ideal for Living ~ 94


Appendix III of the Feature Table Definition is available to BmTP
interpreters within the database ReadMe files, and it gives the hierarchies
and definitions of the feature table abbreviations.

7.3 Molecular Packets and Routers

For BmTP-related systems, packets take on many shapes and flavors.


While early BmTP systems simply aligned individual packets with sub-
genetic or sub-proteomic units such as nucleotide bases or even atoms,
later systems are beginning to expand the possibilities of biomolecular
packets by focusing on their biological functionality. In this way,
different ‘packet classes’ can not only serve the traditional function of
network routing, but in doing so they can also perform calculations
biologically. Several such packets are in use today, and a list and
description are noted below:

Enhancer: An enhancer is a nucleotide sequence to which transcription


factor(s) bind, and which increases the transcription of a gene. It is not
part of a promoter; the basic difference being that an enhancer can be
moved around anywhere in the general vicinity of the gene (within
several thousand nucleotides on either side or even within an intron), and
it will still function. It can even be clipped out and spliced back in
backwards, and will still operate. A promoter, on the other hand, is
position- and orientation-dependent. Some enhancers are ‘conditional
enhancer’ - in other words, they enhance transcription only under certain
conditions, for example in the presence of a hormone. Most BmTP-
related systems use enhancers that are a 50-150bp sequence of DNA that
increases the rate of transcription of coding sequences. It may be located
at various distances and in either orientation upstream from, downstream
from or within a structural gene. The site binds cellular transcription
factors, including steroid-receptor complexes.

Expression: To ‘express’ a gene is to cause it to function. A gene which


encodes a protein will, when expressed, be transcribed and translated to
produce that protein. A gene which encodes an RNA rather than a protein
(for example, an mRNA sequence) will produce that RNA when
expressed. In BmTP-related systems, the production of a gene product,
i.e. protein or RNA, from a gene; the manifestation of a genotype as a
phenotype.

Thacker ~ An Ideal for Living ~ 95


Gene expression: The process by which proteins are made from the
instructions encoded in DNA (def. NHGRI). The process by which a
gene's coded information is converted into the structures present and
operating in the cell. Expressed genes include those that are transcribed
into mRNA and then translated into protein and those that are transcribed
into RNA but not translated into protein (e.g., transfer and ribosomal
RNAs).

Insulator: A DNA sequence that contributes to limitation of chromatin


activation to distinct segments. In the domain boundary model, the
insulator putatively binds nucleoprotein complexes along the chromatin
strand and, by drawing together these boundary complexes,
simultaneously condenses the chromatin and physically separates
enhancer and promoter sequences, thus preventing activation of genes in
this region. In the transcriptional decoy model used by BmTP-related
systems, the insulator is imagined to provides a site for assembly of a
decoy complex with which the enhancer will interact in preference to, or
in competition with, the true promoter.

Operator: A locus on DNA that controls transcription when a repressor or


activator becomes bound. A related unit – the operon – is a set of genes
transcribed under the control of an operator gene.

Promoter: The part of a gene that contains the information to turn the
gene on or off. The process of transcription is initiated at the promoter
(def. NHGRI). In BmTP-related systems, the first few hundred
nucleotides of DNA upstream (on the 5' side) of a gene, which control
the transcription of that gene. The promoter is part of the 5' flanking
DNA, i.e. it is not transcribed into RNA, but without the promoter, the
gene is not functional. Note that the definition is a bit hazy as far as the
size of the region encompassed, but the ‘promoter’ of a gene starts with
the nucleotide immediately upstream from the cap site, and includes
binding sites for one or more transcription factors which can not work if
moved farther away from the gene. A sequence of dsDNA that regulates
the binding and activity of RNA polymerase. The core promoter includes
sequences within 40 nucleotides of a transcription start site; e.g. the
initiator, TATA box, downstream promoter element, which separately or
together direct synthesis by RNA polymerase II. Further upstream from
the initiation site is the promoter-proximal region, which contains

Thacker ~ An Ideal for Living ~ 96


additional regulatory sequences. The core promoter and the promoter-
proximal region are, collectively, the promoter.

Repressor: A protein that regulates a gene by turning it off. A protein that


can regulate transcription by binding to the operator and causing
repression. Relatively unused in BmTP-related systems.

SNP: Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms, which are common, but minute,


variations that occur in human DNA at a frequency of one every 1,000
bases. These variations can be used to track inheritance in families. SNPs
are only experimentally used in BmTP-related systems, mostly due to
their unstable polymorphic and mutagenic properties. Uses of SNPs have
had some success as anti-viral and security utilities within BmTP
systems, though the danger of coupled-polymorphism and mutation
between SNPs and viral RNA has prevented their use within commercial
or entertainment BmTP systems.

8. Conclusion

BmTP has several conceptual aims:


• To collect and annotate systemic data currently-existing
bioinformational network systems;
• To propose a common ontology standard and set of biologically-
specific information protocols for such systems;
• To establish conceptual, experimental, and consumer-based
foundations for a biomolecular transport protocol (BmTP) for
communications application.

The idea of BmTP, as it is now being proposed, is to enable a group of


users to exchange biochemical information with each other in a network
environment. However the application of such technologies outside of
specialized research, and within the communications and entertainment
sectors, had led to a number of questions that are not only biological but
also psychosocial and neurochemical.

For example, one question that has long occupied cognitive science is the
relation between the abstract qualities of memory and the material basis
in the locus of the brain. Does biochemistry play some role in the
experience of emotion? In what way can there be said to be a molecular

Thacker ~ An Ideal for Living ~ 97


or biochemical basis to memory and emotion? And how might the
presence of an informational network enhance or modify such memories
or emotions?

At its root, the communications and entertainment application of BmTP-


related systems poses the following question: if one combined computer
and networking technology with biotechnologies (gene and protein
synthesis machines, molecular screening and diagnostics technologies
like microarrays, and an in vivo medical injection apparatus), could two
or more individuals directly exchange biochemicals with each other?

Then luh+ began to explore the upper walls and ceiling of the pod. They were much the
same as the floor (except without the futon). To luh+’s surprise, a section in the topmost

In short, perhaps it was possible to record oblivion. But this could only be done on the
terms of memory-loss, not memory itself; otherwise it would be nothing more than self-

memory would have to be captured by old media, in the same way that photos from the

when it still didn't make sense, 0_dai simply thought of the experiment as a way of

container is filled above a certain level, stored blood is supplied to the body
through a molecular cannula in the neck.” The lungs of the body are
situated standing directly behind its head and breathing for it. Amplified, the
heart of the body is now flashing and beeping at regular intervals on the
graphic waveform monitor to the left (visible only outside).
Communications: Alcatel's bacterial screen uses bioJava to deliver services
such as basic cortical telephony, RRI (Remote Relay Interaction), general
data navigation, credit transactions, remote MRI-based diagnostics, and
Motorola also plans to use such Java-based BmTP utilities to connect its
own wireless microarray networks. We finally settled on a handful of long

in proteomic-glitches, the essence of the new pornographic moment lies in
the arousal induced by watching the interaction of isolated, activated bodies,
supposedly uncontrolled by any laws save those of cryptography or
physiology. Suddenly I wondered: What makes me so sure that I'm not still
flesh and blood, a singing corpse? Touching at a distance, you wondered if
memory could become brittle. "Knowing about" these regions of the body,
which grows out of acquiring an anatomical view, combines the anatomical
"knowing that" of the fungible, and the anatomical "knowing how" of
making something fungible. A teardrop 40 billion miles across, a cloud

Delicately climbing down from pod #93404, 0_dai stood for a second in the middle of
the long corridor. Again there was the low, rhythmic hum emanating from one of the pods,
or perhaps from all of them in the array. It brought to mind the kinds of faint yet
comforting sounds that seemed to come from inside the body while enveloped within BmTP
media. Walking towards the exit doors to the elevators, 0_dai caught sight of something
to the left. It was 0_dai. Turning to squarely face the reflection, 0_dai took the time to
inspect the pallid cheeks and darkened eyes of a face that was 0_dai’s own, as reflected in
the one-way mirror of pod #94468. In the reflection 0_dai seemed to be crying, or
levitating, or both. On the other side of the glass panel, the angular, bare feet of luh+ rose
and fell at a very slow, gradual rate. The entire pod was filled with warm, distilled water.
The body seemed to be rehearsing a dance for a zero-gravity environment. But the space of

It all comes together in the evening - in a fantastical mix of fabrics,
references, decades - lashes longer than false. Dark eyes, dark lips, dark
undercurrents of sensuality, skin pale from irony and ennui, impeccably
unstudied print-and-no-color collision clothes - naively and cynically defined
with Black Variations Shadow Liner (three intensities and textures in one
compact). “For way too long.” The sky was pure opal now, and the glide of
the nanosecond streets glistened like silver against it. Then you repeat, as
exactly as possible - hesitantly, for it must be done with studied refinement -
the gestures that were your gestures. I occupy, successively, all the space
that you occupied. And there you turn away and weep. And slow, and
patiently, with the eyes shut. Slowly ATT-CGA-UAU-CGU-TTA-AGU-

gently, as if not to wake me.
